May 17-19, 2030: at Atlanta (3)
Game 1: 2-6 L. LP-Eldridge (1-6, 4 7 6 5 2 6). HR-E.Green (7). Back to reality for the Rays playing a good team on the road as they were never in this one.
Game 2: 1-7 L. LP-Evans (2 5 5 5 2 2). Another non-competitive game from Tampa Bay as Atlanta was up 5-0 by the 3rd and never looked back.
Game 3: 4-5 L. LP-R.Rodriguez (1-4). Starter-Khattak (6.1 8 1 1 1 7). HR-Wood (5), Franco (3). All the ingredients were there for a Rays win: a great outing from their best pitcher this season Khattak and a couple of big homers including a 3-run shot by Wood. But someone forgot to tell Randy Rodriguez and he gave up 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th to blow a 4-1 lead and doom the Rays to a series sweep.
Team record: 20-25. Next up: Home for 4 against Toronto.
