September 13: at Philadelphia 3-2 W. WP-Springs (4-5, 7 4 0 0 0 7). S-Bautista (29). HR-Rutschman (19), Isaac (38). Springs was brilliant and got the two homers to back him as the Rays took the opener. Bautista gave up 2 runs in the 9th but held on for the save.

September 14: at Philadelphia 6-1 W. WP-Bradley (11-9, 6 2 0 0 0 8). S-Lovelady (1). HR-Morel (33), C.Williams (19). Another dominant start and a big game from Morel (3-4, HR, 3 RBI) were a recipe for a win.

September 15: at Philadelphia 4-10 L. LP-H.Smith (16-6, 4 4 2 2 4 7). HR-B.Jones (15). Smith wasn't that bad but the bullpen certainly was and the Rays were blown out in Philly.

September 16: at Cleveland 18-2 W. This one deserves a full box presentation since Caminero had one of the great offensive nights of all-time:

5-6 with a double 3 HR and 11 RBI ain't too shabby and the RBI are a team record and tied the AL mark. Campusano's big game and Pepiot's outstanding spot start would normally be the stories of the night but Junior made them both an afterthought.

September 17: at Cleveland 7-11 L. LP-Hentges (4-1). Starter-Gasser (5 6 3 3 1 6). HR-Isaac 2 (41), Rutschman (20). The Rays looked like they were cruising to another blowout win up 7-1 in the 6th before it all went horribly wrong as Gasser gave up a couple of solo shots to start the inning and Hentges surrendered 5 runs to turn it into a loss.

September 18: at Cleveland 0-6 L. LP-McClanahan (15-5, 4.2 6 5 5 2 4). Rays were held to two hits for the game with Gavin Williams shutting them out for 8 innings as Mac didn't have it today.

September 19: at Cleveland 6-4 W (10). WP-Bautista (12-4). Starter-Springs (6 4 1 1 1 8). HR-Campusano (7). The Rays needed a win today to clinch the AL East but their party was delayed when D.Williams lost a 4-1 lead in the 8th. Fortunately Mead's RBI single scored the ghost runner and the Rays hung on to claim the division crown.

Team record: 95-55. Next week: The Rays start playing out the string with the final homestand of the season after a day off as Boston and Toronto each visit for 3 games.

Players of the Week:

AL: Ka'ai Rosario (MIN), 6-12, 5 HR, 10 RBI. Rosario had a 4-homer game so that was apparently enough to eclipse Caminero after his huge game.
NL: Mookie Betts (LA), 13-23, 0 HR, 6 RBI.
