July 8: Off-Day.

July 9: at Boston 7-8 L (11). LP-Adam (4-4). Starter-Bradley (4.2 9 5 5 1 6). HR-Paredes (20), T.Hernandez (17), Mead (6). Rays came back from 6-3 down to go ahead 7-6 in the 10th but couldn't hold it and Adam gave up the ghost runner in the 11th to lose it. Paredes drove in 3 including a 2-run homer.

July 10: at Boston 4-2 W. WP-Rasmussen (6-5, 6.2 5 2 2 1 6). S-Fairbanks (19). HR-J.Lowe (7). Lowe's 2-run homer in the first gave them the lead for good, Westburg drove in the other two and they got quality pitching.

July 11: at Boston 4-0 W. WP-McClanahan (11-6, 8.1 3 0 0 3 4). HR-Paredes (21). Mac's incredible roll continues as he now has gone 11 starts allowing only a total of 12 runs (with our lousy offense he's actually lost 3 of them despite allowing 2 runs or fewer), lowering his ERA to 2.85 and leading MLB in pitcher WAR at 4.0.

July 12: at Toronto 5-4 W. WP-Adam (5-4). S-Fairbanks (20). Starter-Littell (5 4 2 2 1 3). HR-Yandy Diaz (8). They lost leads of 3-2 and 4-3 in this one before finally pulling it on Campusano's RBI single in the 8th. Yandy was 3-5 with the homer and two ribbies.

July 13: at Toronto 3-2 W. WP-Cleavinger (3-2). S-Fairbanks (21). Starter-Springs (5.1 9 2 2 1 7). HR-Yandy Diaz (9), Paredes (22). Yanier Diaz's sac fly in the 9th brought home the winning run as the Rays pulled out another one late.

July 14: at Toronto 7-5 W (10). WP-Adam (6-4). S-Maldonado (5). Starter-Bradley (4.2 9 5 5 2 6). HR-T.Hernandez (18), Siri (4), Paredes (23). Campusano came through big late again with a 2-run triple in the 10th as the Rays swept the struggling Jays and went into the All-Star break on a 5-game win streak.

Team record: 57-41. We're 5 up in the first wild card and 6 ahead of fourth. Next week: The break then we return home for 3 with Boston (actually 4 as it's a wraparound series).

Players of the Week:

AL: Emmanuel Rodriguez (MIN), 9-24, 5 HR, 10 RBI
NL: Sean Murphy (ATL), 8-18, 3 HR, 7 RBI (Michael Harris II came back to earth at 4-26)

MLB News: This actually happened a couple of weeks ago but I kept forgetting to mention it as two major stars went down. 2-way Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani ruptured a finger tendon and is done for the season. He finishes the year 250/353/615 with 30 HR in only 288 AB and was 4-8, 4.85 on the mound although he fanned 112 in only 85 IP and had earned 2.1 WAR on the mound to go with 2.7 as a hitter. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz is also finished for 2025 with a fractured knee. He was hitting 259/371/529 with 19 HR and 3.0 WAR.
