Transaction: Claimed P Donye Evans on waivers from the Mets, DFA'd P Charlie Ruegger. Evans was in the Mets' rotation from 2025-2027 and struck out 708 men in those 3 seasons but after a 5.65 ERA in the last of them he fell out of favor, spending 2028 and much of this year at AAA Syracuse and in the pen when with the big club. He still boasts 80 stuff although it comes with 45 movement and control. But if they're giving him up for free, I'm going to take it and see if he can help our pen.

Game 1: 3-2 W. WP-Evans (1-0). S-Diaz (22). Starter-Sears (4 5 2 1 1 2). HR-DeLoach (21). Rays came back from 2-0 down to take this one thanks to Haro's 2-run double and DeLoach's tiebreaking homer in the 5th. And Donye Evans was electric in his Rays debut, going 2.2 0 0 0 2 7 to earn the win in middle relief.

Game 2: 9-5 W. WP-Swanda (9-8, 5 4 2 2 3 6). HR-Rendon (3/18), Franco (17), Santana (35). Texas scored twice in the top of the first but the Rays answered with 5 in the bottom of the inning, capped by the suddenly hot Rendon's 3-run shot.

Game 3: 4-7 L. LP-Eldridge (10-6, 3.2 8 6 6 2 5). HR-Santana (36). Eldridge has turned in bad starts in 4 of his last 5 outings and today's brought his ERA up to 4.79 as the Rays couldn't come back from the 6-0 hole he put them in. They nearly did though, getting within 3 and having the bases loaded with nobody out in the 9th before two strikeouts and a fly ball snuffed out the rally.

Team record: 70-57. We're now within 1 1/2 of the Jays again, and ensconced in the first wild card spot. Next up: The other Texas team comes to town as the 74-53 Astros, tied for the best record in baseball, visit for 3.

MLB News: The Cardinals' Tyler O'Neill hit career homer #300.
