June 11-13, 2027: vs Colorado (3)

Game 1: 1-12 L. LP-Castillo (5-4, 3.1 4 7 4 5 5). Sometimes you just take it on the chin and that's what happened tonight with the Rays. Luis Castillo was unusually wild and it caught up to him while the bats were held in check.

Game 2: 3-2 W
. WP-Dohy (1-0). Starter-Sears (5 4 2 0 2 7). High drama at the Trop as we went to the bottom of the 9th with Colorado holding a 2-0 lead on a couple of unearned runs due to JP Sears' own throwing error. But a rally loaded the bases in the bottom of the 9th and brought home one run with two out before Joshua Mears singled to tie it and Jeremiah Jackson's infield dribbler to 3rd went for a single and the Rays walked it off.

Game 3: 8-7 W. WP-Moran (2-2). S-Fairbanks (16). Starter-Orze (5 4 1 1 2 2). It was nearly the polar opposite of yesterday as the Rays took a 7-1 lead into the 8th before Yoniel Curet loaded the bases and allowed a run and then the hapless Jovani Moran gave up a pair of homers including a grand slam and it was suddenly 7-7. Fortunately in the bottom of the frame Luciano led off with a double and came home on Wander's sac fly to put Tampa Bay back on top. It still wasn't clear sailing though as Fairbanks loaded the bases with nobody out only to strike out the next three batters to hang on, taking ten years off all our lives.

Team record: 43-21
. The Yankees swept their series and moved within 4 games. Next up: More action against the NL West as the Dodgers roll into town for 3. LA has started a rough 28-36 this season.
