Game 1: 5-2 W. WP-Orze (2-2, 5.1 6 2 2 1 1). S-Diaz (7). HR-Albies (10), Luciano (4), Santana (6). A fine effort from the pitching staff and three big homers led the Rays to a rare road win for 2028. Edwin Diaz got the save in his old ballpark but they didn't play "Narco" for him.

Transaction: Wander Franco is welcomed back off the IL and Brooks Lee is optioned to Durham.

Game 2: 3-1 W. WP-Swanda (3-4, 5 3 1 1 0 7). S-Diaz (8). HR-Santana (7), DeLoach (1). It was a miserable night in New York for everyone but the Rays as they used the same recipe as the night before to win on a cold, rainy night at Citi Field that featured a 44-minute delay in the 4th. Swanda and the pen were great as Diaz this time struck out the side in the 9th and Santana homered again with his 2-run shot the difference in the game.

Game 3: 4-0 W. WP-G.Rodriguez (7-0, 6 3 0 0 0 8). HR-Franco (5), Santana (8). It was a matchup of two young pitchers at the top of their games with the 6-0 Grayson Rodriguez facing off against 7-0 Kumar Rocker. And G-Rod got the better of things as he normally does despite another lousy weather night (47 degrees with a 55-minute delay) and Natanael Santana homered for the third straight game to give the Rays a sweep of a Mets team which came in 25-13, actually making them 5-1 in their last two road series after starting the year away from home 2-8.

Team record: 27-15. With the sweep and an Oriole loss the division lead is up to 4 1/2 games. Next up: We head south on I-95 to the nation's capital to play 3 against Washington.

MLB News: The big news of the last few days came out of New York as well, but from the Bronx as slugging legend Giancarlo Stanton announced his retirement at the end of the season as age and injuries have caught up to him. Last winter New York voided the final year of his contract before coming back to them on a minor-league deal but has been limited to 14 AB so far this year. Meanwhile still going strong (and several years younger than Stanton) is Mookie Betts who picked up career hit #2000.
