The Rays Train (steamboat?) kept on humming north of the border. Kevin Gausman reached a personal milestone as the sixth active pitcher with at least 2,000 career strikeouts, but that was cold comfort to him on Monday night. He only fanned four other Rays, and knocked him around for seven runs on ten hits, as he needed 100 pitches just to get through 4.2 innings. The Rays jumped on Gausman early and often.

The light-hitting infielder came up big again in the seventh to record his and give him all five Jays RBIs on the night. Both shots came with his team behind by five runs, however, as the Rays had kept building on their lead after the first Giménez homer.

**Seattle Mariners (20-22) 3, Houston Astros (16-26) 1**: The Baseball Bar-B-Cast recently described the 2026 Mariners as “stuck in neutral,” and that seems apt for a club that should be leading this AL West with ease and is instead hovering just below .500, two games behind a merely adequate A’s team (in first place at 21-19). Cal Raleigh’s now hitless in his last 36 at-bats, but the M’s at least took the right step forward at the start of a four-game set in Houston. George Kirby grinded through five innings with just one run allowed, the bullpen was nearly pristine, and the bottom of the Seattle lineup delivered multiple RBI on knocks by Dominic Canzone and Cole Young. Julio Rodríguez hit a majestic solo shot, and Andrés Muñoz struck out Seattle nemesis Yordan Alvarez as the tying run at the plate to end it.

That’s the fate that befell the Angels in Cleveland, as the Guardians beat up on Brent Suter, José Fermín, and Kirby Yates for a combined seven runs in the second and third. With Joey Cantillo firing six shutout frames to keep the Halos at bay, it was a breezy win for the Guardos. The big hits came on two-run singles by Brayan Rocchio and Daniel Schneemann, and then a rookie Travis Bazzana plating a pair on a double against Yates. View Link
