Game 1: 2-1 W. WP-Eldridge (6-4, 6.1 3 1 1 1 6). S-R.Rodriguez (22). Rays got the pitching and eked out enough offense to take the win over the struggling Giants. Rodolfo Solano was 2-4 with a steal and both runs scored.

Game 2: 12-7 W. WP-Evans (6-2, 5 2 2 2 2 7). S-Watters (1). HR-C.Williams (10), R.Solano (8). A wild one that saw the Rays nearly blow a 7-1 lead as San Fran got within 8-7 before they put it away with 4 in the 8th, including a 3-run homer from Williams. The team had 16 hits led by Nelson Haro's 4 and everyone in the lineup had at least one with Solano knocking in 4 runs. Jacob Watters put the fire out in the 7th and then finished out the game to earn his first Tampa Bay save.

Game 3: 3-2 W (14). WP-Khattak (1-7). Starter-Okuda (5 3 1 1 1 5). This almost became the most frustrating loss of the season as the Rays left a whopping 17 men on base, most of them in regulation, and Randy Rodriguez blew a 2-1 lead in the 9th on a bases-loaded walk with two out, one of three he issued in the inning. But finally in the 14th Carson Williams, who had been the largest personal LOB offender stranding 7, delivered an RBI single to win it and the Rays completed their second straight series sweep.

Team record: 45-36. We've managed to pull within 1/2 game of the Yankees for the division lead and are now 1 1/2 ahead of Toronto and 2 1/2 ahead of Boston in second. Next up: Back home for 3 against another team having its problems, 33-47 Cincinnati.

MLB News: Toronto's Bo Bichette picked up career hit #2000.

As we've reached the halfway mark of the season, next post will be a midseason recap.
