Rays down on the farm September 2: Durham on the brink despite win

Durham won its third straight game but saw its elimination number fall to one

If you missed it Tuesday, the Rays named six players they are sending to the Arizona Fall League. Another will be coming later.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (70-68)

Durham beat old friend Victor Mateo in its 6-3 win over Gwinnett. After Mississippi beat Montgomery in a pair of Mateo starts earlier this season, the Bulls finally got the best of him to cling to their playoff hopes. Gwinnett initially went up 2-0 in the fourth, but Nick Franklin led off the home half of the inning with a home run, and newcomer Jose Constanza and Ryan Brett later added RBI hits to put Durham in front.
