April 19-22, 2032: at NY Yankees (4)
Game 1: 7-9 L (10). LP-Ogando (0-1). Starter-Eldridge (4.1 7 6 6 4 4). HR-Bailey (1), Hardy (2). Another tough loss where the Rays came to tie from both 6-2 and 7-6 down, only to lose on a 2-run walkoff homer by former Ray Triston Casas. Haro's 2-run pinch-double tied it at 6 in the 7th and then Hardy's dramatic solo homer in the 9th tied it again, but it was all for nought.
Game 2: 0-6 L. LP-Okuda (2-1, 4 4 3 3 4 6). After scoring 7 runs in each of the last three games and losing them, the Rays offense decided why bother and managed only 4 hits as Okuda had his first bad start.
Game 3: 0-3 L. LP-Evans (2-1, 5 3 1 1 4 8). The losing streak reaches 5 and the scoreless streak 2 as the bats were even worse today with only two hits.
Game 4: 6-7 L. LP-Armstrong (0-1). Starter-Khattak (4 5 5 5 3 3). HR-Solano (2), Mesa (5), Caminero (3). The Rays miserable road trip saw them swept by the Yankees and lose six straight after winning the opener in Texas. This one played out similarly to the series opener as they fought back from 5-0 down to go ahead 6-5 in the 7th on Caminero's 3-run homer, but immediately gave two back to the Yanks in the bottom of the frame and that was that.
Team record: 9-8. That record is actually good for last in the AL East as all five teams are over .500 and separated by 1 1/2 games. Next up: The road trip from hell continues on the other side of the country with 3 in Anaheim against the Angels.
