Game 1:
Game 2:
Game 3:
A high-scoring series in which the Rays dropped 2 of 3 at home. The offense hasn't been an issue (2nd in MLB in runs) but the defense (27th in MLB) and pitching (18th in ERA) have been. As a result the Rays are just 3 games over .500 and in the wild card mix although of course it's very early.
Williams and Caminero the two most dominant players in the AL so far. Bodes well for the future. Next up: 3 games in Texas against the Rangers.
Players of the Week:
AL: Cam Smith (HOU), 10-25, 4 HR, 11 RBI
NL: Bryce Harper (PHI), 11-24, 5 HR, 8 RBI
MLB News: The Mets, off to a dismal 5-17 start as we saw when the Rays swept them, had things go from bad to worse with star catcher Francisco Alvarez done for the season with a torn ACL. Speaking of power-hitting catchers, former Royals mainstay and current Astro Sal Perez hit career homer #300.
