September 1-2, 2031: vs Miami (2)
Transaction: Recalled 2B Victor Mesa and P Jaheim Lennon from AAA Durham. Mesa was sent down last week to make room for Cody Holcombe and returns while the big news is the recall of Lennon, our top pitching prospect and 1st-round pick last season. He was a pretty good 9-4, 3.32 with the Bulls but is rated 45/75/40 right now so he's mainly up for depth and to mop up some innings.
Game 1: 9-2 W. WP-Evans (8-5, 5.1 4 2 2 2 10). HR-Solano (15). Solano and Wander (who had 3 hits) each drove in 3 to pace the offense while Evans was Donye-mating again.
Game 2: 12-3 W. WP-Eldridge (7-8, 6 7 3 3 1 6). HR-E.Green (12). The Rays sweep the 2-game mini-series from Miami scoring 21 runs. Today's rout was led by Junior Caminero, 3-5 with 2 doubles and 5 RBI while Elijah Green knocked in 3 including a 2-run homer.
Team record: 74-58. Toronto split its two games so we're back up by 1 1/2. Next up: Two more with the Marlins but this time in South Florida.
