Game 1: 7-9 L. LP-Rasmussen (8-5, 4 6 6 6 2 6). HR-Soto (28), Pinto (5). Ras put them in a 6-0 hole, the offense kept fighting back, but unfortunately the pen gave up 3 more runs which were the difference. Vaughn had a 2-run single to go with the two 2-run homers.

Game 2: 1-3 L. LP-Fairbanks (1-5). Starter-Patino (6 6 0 0 1 7). HR-Vaughn (13). Rays took a 1-0 lead into the 9th behind a great Patino outing but Fairbanks reverted to his save-blowing form of midseason by giving up an RBI double and a 2-run homer in the 9th to blow his 6th save.

Game 3: 4-8 L. LP-Baz (5-8, 0.1 2 3 3 0 0). HR-J.Jackson (9). Baz's star-crossed, injury-plagued, inconsistent year continued with giving up a 2-run homer in the 1st, and then plunking Orelvis Martinez, setting off a brawl and getting a 6-game suspension. It didn't get much better from there for the Rays as they dropped their third straight in the series.

Transaction: Baz went on the restricted list and we purchased the contract of veteran reliever Lou Trivino from Durham. Trivino had a 1.33 ERA in 16 innings with Milwaukee earlier this year (albeit with a shaky 12/17 BB/K ratio) and we'll see if he can help.

Game 4: 3-1 W. WP-McClanahan (15-4, 7 1 1 1 0 6). S-Fairbanks (19). After 4 straight lousy starts Mac bounced back in a big way, with Vlad Jr the only Jay to reach with a solo homer, his 3rd of the series. Rene Pinto was the unlikely offensive hero, tripling (!) and scoring on an Albies single and then hitting a 2-run double in the 6th to win it as the Rays salvaged a game from the series.

Team record: 86-48. The Yankees split four in Boston so the magic number is down to 20. Next up: A weekend in Detroit where we'll play 3.

MLB News: The Padres, 2 back of the Giants and in the first NL wild card spot, will be without superstar Fernando Tatis Jr for the rest of the regular season with a fractured foot.
