May 25: Optioned P Luis Patino to AAA Durham, activated P Pete Fairbanks from the 10-day IL.

Had to send someone down to activate Fairbanks, and while I liked Patino in long relief, he had options.

Game 1: The Rays came from behind to take a 3-2 win over Kansas City at Tropicana Field with Randy Arozarena's 8th-inning homer (#6) breaking a 2-2 tie. Yonny Chirinos started and gave up 2 in the 4th but the Rays answered back with a Brandon Lowe RBI single and Christian Vazquez RBI double. The just-activated Pete Fairbanks pitched 2 perfect innings for win #2 and Ken Giles notched his 9th save.

May 26: Placed IF/OF Vidal Brujan on the 10-day IL with a latissimus dorsi back strain, activated OF Josh Lowe from his rehab assignment at AAA Durham.

The worm turns. Brujan, who got hurt in last night's game and will miss 6 weeks, took advantage of Lowe's injury and now it's Lowe's turn to reciprocate.

Game 2: Joe Ryan's bugaboo is the longball, and the Royals went deep off him 3 times in 6 innings, building a 4-0 lead through 4. But the Rays came back once again with five runs between the 5th and 7th innings to take a 5-4 win over Kansas City. Ryan hung in there and finished 6 6 4 4 2 10, reaching double-digit whiffs for the first time as a big leaguer. Ji-Man Choi homered in the 5th (#3) to get them on the board, and Christian Vasquez had a 2-run single in the 6th before Manuel Margot led off the 7th with a double on scored on consecutive wild pitches to tie it up. The rally continued, and Brandon Lowe's RBI double proved the difference. Rafael Dolis got win #3 in relief and Nick Anderson got save #5.

Game 3: The Rays swept the series with their third straight one-run win thanks to Ji-Man Choi's walkoff homer (#4) in the 9th. The 3-2 win came after they lost a 2-0 lead which was built on a Choi single and an Oscar Colas groundout. Matt Peacock started and was great again, going 5.2 5 0 0 2 6, but Colin Poche gave up a run in the 7th and Nick Anderson got two out in the top of the 9th then gave up an RBI double to Whit Merrifield before Choi got him off the hook.

Team record: 35-13, now 12 up on Boston. Next up: An off-day, then 3 games in Minnesota.
