Game 1: 1-6 L. LP-Eldridge (7-12, 5.2 6 3 3 1 5). HR-Mesa (5). A tight game into the 6th that saw the Rays squander a pair of bases-loaded chances before Boston broke it open off the bullpen. Fortunately the White Sox lost so we remained even with them for the #2 seed bye, albeit behind on the tiebreaker.

Game 2: 6-1 W. WP-Evans (12-5, 5 3 0 0 1 10). HR-Franco (16), Hardy (29). Evans did it again, now a combined 25 9 3 3 5 46 on his four-start roll and combined with a Chicago loss we're in pole position for the #2 seed, needing only a win in the finale (or Chicago loss). Solano had a pair of RBI doubles and Hardy a 2-run homer to lead the offense.

Game 3: 7-5 W. WP-Acosta (6-4, 6 6 3 3 0 5). S-R.Rodriguez (35). HR-E.Green (15). Mission accomplished as we secured the #2 seed and now don't have to play a best-of-3 wild card series. Solano's RBI single in the 6th broke a 2-2 tie and Elijah Green's 3-run homer put it away, even though with another Chicago loss we would have clinched the bye anyway.

Final Regular Season Record: 92-70. Next up: the ALDS against the winner of the White Sox and Minnesota with Game 1 at the Trop, where we'll be home for the first time in about 3 weeks.
