August 5: Off-Day.

August 6: vs Houston 1-4 L. LP-Springs (7-4, 6 8 4 4 1 9). HR-T.Hernandez (21). Springs gave up all 4 in the first 3 and the offense could never get back in it.

August 7: vs Houston 4-6 L (10). LP-Fairbanks (4-7). Starter-Bradley (4.1 5 3 3 2 4). Rays looked poised for another miracle comeback, scoring 3 times in the bottom of the 9th on Caminero's 2-run single, but Fairbanks had a brutal 10th, giving up a 2-run Brandon Belt double to lose it.

August 8: vs Houston 3-0 W. WP-Rasmussen (8-5, 5.2 4 0 0 1 6). S-Fairbanks (25). HR-Paredes (29), T.Hernandez (22). Ras is on quite a roll, now having gone 16.2 12 2 2 3 24 over his last three starts and has gone his last seven allowing three or fewer runs.

Transaction: As expected, we swapped out lefty relievers with Richard Lovelady activated and Garrett Cleavinger put on waivers.

August 9: vs Oakland 1-2 L. LP-McClanahan (12-8, 5.2 6 2 2 1 10). Another night of limited offense cost the Rays.

August 10: vs Oakland 3-2 W. WP-Lovelady (1-0). S-Maldonado (6). HR-Yainer Diaz (9). Josh Lowe's 3rd hit of the night was an RBI double to tie it in the 8th and Caminero singled him home for the winner. Lovelady picked up the win in his Rays debut despite giving up the go-ahead hit in the top of the 8th.

August 11: vs Oakland 2-0 W. WP-Springs (8-4, 5.2 2 0 0 6 5). S-Fairbanks (26). HR-N.Lowe (1/14). Nate Lowe's first homer since rejoining the Rays was a big one as it brought home both of the game's runs in the 4th. Springs meanwhile fought off a bout of wildness to earn the win.

Team record: 69-50. Baltimore continues to struggle and we're now only 5 1/2 back so who knows? 5 up on Minnesota for wild card 1 and 6 on fourth place. Next week: we hit the road for 3 in Minnesota and 3 in Kansas City.

Players of the week:

AL: Brooks Lee (MIN), 9-18, 3 HR, 8 RBI
NL: Ronald Acuna Jr (ATL), 13-24, 2 HR, 7 RBI (it's always someone from Atlanta, 5 of the last 6 weeks)
