Game 1: The Rays got 2 big 3-run homers and another great outing from Yonny Chirinos to stay hot and beat LA 7-2 in the series opener. Oscar Colas stayed sparkly by drilling a 3-run homer in the 2nd off last year's playoff hero for the Mets Marcus Stroman, his 9th, and then with the game in the balance in the 7th at 3-1 pinch-hitter Mike Brosseau stepped up and blasted one out with two aboard (#2) to put the game out of reach. Chirinos went 6.1 6 1 1 2 8 with the whiffs a season-high as he goes to 5-1, 2.28. Luis Patino was electric in relief, whiffing 5 Angels over the final 2 2/3 to pick up his first save.

Game 2: Joe Ryan's MLB debut against Cleveland last week was successful if not overpowering (2 whiffs) but the rookie righty showed what he was all about today fanning 9 Angels in 5 innings in yet another Rays rout 9-1. Ryan was 5 2 0 0 3 9 on 88 pitches. Willy Adames took Andrew Heaney deep in the 1st to get Tampa Bay on the board, Ji-Man Choi drove in 3 and Oscar Colas and Vidal Brujan each brought home a pair. The lone Angel run came against Rafael Dolis, the first time he's been scored upon this season.

Game 3: The Rays made it 7 straight and 17 of 19 by handling the Angels again 5-1. It was a tight 1-1 pitchers' duel between Matt Peacock and James Paxton, but Paxton blinked first when Christian Vazquez took him yard in the 6th with HR #3 to make it 2-1. Randy Arozarena's 2-run double in the 7th gave the Rays a cushion and Peacock went to 5-0, 2.91 with a 6.1 4 1 1 3 6 outing. Diego Castillo got a couple of big outs in the 7th to snuff out a budding LA rally while Austin Meadows went 3-4 with an RBI.

Team record: 25-8. As hot as the Rays are the Yankees are just as cold; after starting 14-5 they've now lost 12 of 14 including a sweep at the hands of White Sox while the Rays were taking care of the Angels. They're now 9 up on the Bronx Bummers (and Boston, who's now caught New York at 16-17) and head to Yankee Stadium for 3 games.

MLB News: Young Marlins phenom JJ Bleday had a 5-hit game which included a homer and 4 RBI; The Dodgers lost Clayton Kershaw to a torn meniscus for 4 months; and San Antonio catcher Rene Pinto, who was in the Rays' system last year but became a minor league FA, hit for the cycle albeit in a losing cause as Boston beat the Alamos 10-8.
