Game 1: An electric game from newcomer Jarren Duran led the Rays to a 6-2 win over Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium. The rookie CF was 3-3, scored two runs, stole a base, and broke a 2-2 tie in the 9th with a 2-run double. Garrett Cooper then dropped a ball in RF which allowed 2 more runs to score in the inning. Earlier Wander Franco had hit a 2-run homer (#9) to put the Rays up 2-1 in the 6th before a Willy Adames error led to the tying run off Yonny Chirinos, who went 6.2 5 2 1 1 2. Diego Castillo got a big whiff with the bases loaded in relief of Yonny and picked up win #3 with a clean 8th.

Game 2: The Rays blew a pair of leads but got a 3-run homer from Randy Arozarena (#13) in the 10th to take a 7-4 win over the Royals. Tyler Glasnow started and was dominating until he ran out of gas in the 6th and gave up a 3-run Carlos Santana homer on his 102nd pitch to finish 5.1 6 3 3 0 10. This erased an early 3-0 Rays lead which came mainly from a 2-run Oscar Colas single. Austin Meadows homered in the 8th (#12) to put the Rays back on top but Rafael Dolis blew that lead in the bottom of the inning. Aaron Fletcher pitched the 9th and picked up win #4 while Ken Giles saved for 21st time.

Game 3: A pedestrian start from Ryan Yarbrough and some shaky bullpen work doomed the Rays to a 6-3 loss as they saw their modest 5-game win streak end. Yarbs was hit for 3 runs in the first 2 innings (the last one due to his own error) and then Devin Williams allowed run #4 to score in the 6th before allowing a Carlos Santana triple (!) for another in the 7th while Alex Vesia served up a Starling Marte homer in the 8th. The Rays, who had gotten their first homer from Joey Bart (his 8th overall) earlier, pulled within 4-3 on a 2-run Mike Brosseau single in the 7th but were largely held in check by KC's Asa Lacy.

Team record: 65-28. Next up: Back home for 3 vs Minnesota.

MLB News: The Yankees continued their fire sale by shipping Jameson Taillon to Minnesota (and he turned around and beat them in his Twins debut) and reliever Andrew Chafin to Arizona, acquiring prospects in both deals.
