Game 1: 2-0 W. WP-McClanahan (14-4, 6.2 3 0 0 2 6). S-Taylor (6/13). It was billed as the pitching matchup of the year (Mac vs. Jacob deGrom) and it lived up to billing with the Rays coming out on top. Lorenzo Cain's RBI single off deGrom in the 2nd stood up before a Wander RBI double in the 8th gave us insurance.

Game 2: 5-1 W. WP-Scott (4-1). Starter-Patino (4.2 3 1 1 5 7). HR-J.Jackson (7), Cain (1/6), Vaughn (9). Tanner Scott got Patino out of a bases-loaded jam in the 5th in a 1-1 game before Bregman's RBI double broke the tie and Cain and Jackson went back-to-back off Gerrit Cole to break it open. Juan Soto left with knee inflammation; it's "minimal" but supposed to last 3 weeks. With a now 7.5-game lead we'll baby him (and possibly put him on the IL).

Game 3: 4-2 W. WP-Springs (5-2). S-Feyereisen (8). Starter-Rasmussen (5 5 2 2 1 6). HR-Meadows (6/16), J.Jackson (8), Bregman (23). Bregman's 2-run homer in the 6th broke a 2-2 tie in a game which also saw Meadows hit one of (if not the) longest homers in Rays history, a 482-foot shot off Zac Eflin. While the Rays completed the sweep and have pretty much put away the division with an 8 1/2-game lead, it wasn't all fun and games as Ryan Pressly left in the 9th with shoulder inflammation and is done for the year, only a couple of weeks after we acquired him from Boston. Fortunately Pete Fairbanks has regained his form of late and he and Josh Taylor should serve as closers depending whether lefties or righties are due up.

Team record: 74-38. Next up: We're off to Philly for 3 games against Philadelphia, which is 67-46 and running away with the NL East.
