Split a 4 game set with Oakland, then took 2 of 3 from the White Sox.
The good: The top of the order death combo of Mookie Betts and Ronald Acuna Jr. are red hot. In 10 games they each have 5 homers. The rest of the team has 7 combined.
The bad: Losing a franchise legend is always tough, and even tougher when they come back to hurt you. On Kevin Kiermaier's first game back in the Trop, we held a Kevin Kiermaier Fan Appreciation Day, and he went out and went 2-4 with an RBI in a 2-0 win for Oakland.
Coming up: 3 @ CHC, then 3 vs. BOST
