The 7-game win streak came to end but the Rays still took 2 of 3 from the Angels while the Jays took 2 of 3 from the Yankees to stay 2 behind the Rays. Toronto did suffer a more important loss when they lost the reigning AL MVP Bo Bichette for 6 weeks with a knee sprain.

Dustin May was dealing in the opener, and although the July 4 game didn't yield much in the way of fireworks that was just fine as the Rays took a 3-0 win. May went 7 6 0 0 0 7 and went to 7-5, 2.99 and JT Ginn had a 1-2-3 9th for save #14. Adley Rutschman had an RBI single and Heston Kjerstad an RBI double in the 1st to provide all the offense they'd need.

The Rays had a 3-1 lead after 4 in the second game but Jo Adell blasted his 2nd homer of the game off Joe Ryan in the 5th, a 3-run shot, and the Angels went on to snap the Rays' winning streak 6-3. Ryan was 5 4 4 4 2 7, dropping to 7-7, 4.66.

Tarik Skubal let the Angels back into the game after the Rays went up 5-1, but they held on for a 6-5 win to take the series. Skubal gave up a 3-run homer to Jorge Soler in the 6th to make it 5-4, only the third homer he's allowed this year in 83 innings. Given that's he allowed 29 and 25 homers the previous two seasons he's probably due for some regression in that department but so far so good as he improved to 7-5, 3.14 after a 5 6 4 4 1 8 outing. After Tylor Megill had a rare bad outing walking 3 in the 8th and allowing a run, JT Ginn got the final out and pitched through the 9th for save #15. Meanwhile the offense came from a 2-run Ed Howard double, a 2-4 day with an RBI from Kody Hoese, and a solo homer from the suddenly-hot Corey Collins (#3).

Team record: 55-32. Next up: An off-day then we travel to Chicago to play 3 against the Pale Hose.
