Game 1: The Rays fought back from 4-1 down to score 4 times in the 8th to take the lead but lost 6-5 when Freddy Zamora gave up a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 9th allowing Boston to walk it off. Gordie Ager had his first not-great start as a Ray although it wasn't horrible at 6.2 6 4 4 1 1. A Doug Johns homer (#21) was all they had to show for 7 innings before Seth Williams doubled in a run and Josh Alexander followed with a 3-run shot (#34). But Zamora (4-2) gave up a single and with two out Boston's Willie Rubio took him over the Monster for the lefty's third blown save of the year.

Game 2: Jose Mendoza shook off his recent struggles and pitched his best game of the year as the Rays downed Boston 5-1. The lefty was brilliant going 8 4 1 1 0 8 on 96 pitches to improve to 11-7, 5.00. Doug Johns (#22) and Luis Barela (#26) had 2-run homers to back him in the 4th and 6th respectively.

Game 3: Jim Brophy was extraordinarily wild and the Rays couldn't recover as they dropped the rubber game of the series 4-3 to the Red Sox. The portsider dropped only his 2nd game of the year against 16 wins in a bizarre 4 3 4 4 7 5 outing and saw his ERA rise to 3.25. Mike Willis' 2-run single was the highlight on offense.

Team record: 84-31. Next up: 3 games in Minnesota.
