June 21-22, 2027: vs Atlanta (2)
Game 1: 3-7 L. LP-McClanahan (8-3, 6.1 8 5 5 1 6). In the first time the clubs have met since last year's World Series won by Tampa Bay, the Rays had a 2-1 lead with Mac dealing. Then it all went wrong in a 6-run Atlanta 7th which saw him give up a 2-run homer, put 2 more on before departing and saw those men score when Luis German gave up an Austin Riley grand slam.
Game 2: 8-1 W. WP-Castillo (7-4, 6 4 0 0 0 9). HR-Luciano (9), Albies (7). Castillo was dominant and Albies tormented his old team with a 2-run homer and RBI single while Wander and Luciano knocked in a pair.
Team record: 47-25. The Yankees and Jays split two games with each other so the lead remains 6 over both. Next up: The return leg with two games in Atlanta.
MLB News: Cincinnati's Trevor Bauer announced his retirement, which was welcome news to most everyone in baseball.
