June 7-10, 2027: at Boston (4)

Game 1: 8-2 W. WP-Sears (2-0, 5 4 2 2 2 5). HR-Mead (9). Mead was 2-3 with 2 walks, the homer & 3 RBI while Albies was 3-5 with a double and 2 RBI to lead another fine game from the offense. JP Sears acquitted himself well in his first start after nearly 80 relief appearances over the past few years.

Game 2: 6-4 W. WP-Orze (4-2, 6 2 0 0 2 2). S-Fairbanks (14). HR-Mead (10), DeLoach (10). Zach DeLoach was 2-5 with a double, homer & 4 RBI and backup C Rene Pinto was 4-4 to provide the offense. Orze had his best start but we had to survive a shaky pen which almost lost a 6-1 lead including Fairbanks allowing a homer in the 9th.

Game 3: 7-4 W. WP-Bradley (3-2, 5.1 6 3 3 0 5). S-Fairbanks (15). HR-DeLoach (11). Zach DeLoach is having himself a season and after today's solo homer he's third in the AL in WAR at 2.8, trailing the leader and teammate Wander Franco at 3.0. Wander and Tork each knocked in a pair and today the pen fared well as Fairbanks had a 1-2-3, two-whiff 9th.

Game 4: 9-0 W. WP-McClanahan (8-1, 5.1 2 0 0 5 8). HR-N.Santana (5), Mead (11). Tampa Bay completed the sweep in emphatic fashion with Mac and a pair of relievers combining on a 5-hit shutout although they walked 7 in total. Sandy Gaston fanned 6 in his 2 1/3 innings of work while Mead was 3-3 with 2 walks, the homer and 2 RBI, Santana 2-5 with the homer & 3 RBI, and Josh Mears added a 2-run double as the offense put 30 on the board in the 4 games in a modern "Boston Massacre".

Team record: 41-20, now 5 up on both the Jays and the Yankees. Next up: A return home for 3 against the Rockies.
