April 19-21, 2030: at Oakland (3)

Game 1: 3-4 L. LP-Evans (1-2, 4 6 4 4 2 7). HR-Arakawa (3). Donye Evans hasn't been quite as electric as he was down the stretch last year and this offense isn't going to overcome 4 early runs against too often although they came close today despite getting only 4 hits.

Transaction: James Wood's rehab time was up so he was activated and Victor Mesa sent back to Durham as he had options and Max Viera didn't, so Viera will take over 2B in Ozzie Albies' absence.

Game 2: 6-7 L. LP-Eldridge (1-3, 6.2 5 5 5 2 4). Rays led 3-1 in the 6th before Oakland tied it in the bottom of the inning and put 3 on the board in the 7th off a tiring Eldridge and a bases-clearing double allowed by Victor Gonzalez. They fought back and nearly took the lead in the 9th but fell short, the story of 2030 so far. Wander had a 2-run single and Max Viera had 3 hits including an RBI double.

Game 3: 3-2 W
. WP-Khattak (3-0, 7 6 2 2 1 5). S-R.Rodriguez (4). Walt Khattak has been the one bright spot this year and he was excellent again today. His mates squeaked out enough offense to win with Wander and Caminero each with 2 hits and an RBI while Yordan Alvarez was 3-5 with a double.

Team record: 8-12. Next up: 3 games in New York against the Yankees, who aren't doing a whole lot better at 10-10.
