April 28: Placed P Ron Adams on the 10-day IL with a bone spur in his elbow, recalled P Edgar Rios from AAA Durham.

As mentioned before Adams should miss 3 weeks. Eric Riley will take his rotation spot in 4 days, while Rios was only at Durham because our roster is insanely loaded.

Game 1: This was being billed as the Rays' biggest regular season game in recent memory since they've run off and hid from the rest of the division the last several years but only hold a 2 1/2-game lead on the Red Sox nearly a month into the season. Well make that 3 1/2 games as the Rays took a 5-1 win at Fenway Park. Nate Schultz started and was never really comfortable, putting numerous men on, but gutted it out to go 6 5 1 1 4 4 and improve to 3-0, 3.13. Billy Hoyte continues to be more consistent in Year 2 with the Rays and he threw a pair of scoreless innings while Willie Bertone pitched around a leadoff walk to finish the 9th. On offense the runs came early with 2 in the 3rd on an RBI single from Victor de Jesus and a bloop RBI double for Eric Titcombe. Then in the 4th Jaiden Hardaway hit #4 with 2 men on over The Monster to make it 5-0 Rays at that point. Chris Peters had an interesting game, he doubled and scored in his first at-bat then walked in his next 4 plate appearances.

Game 2: The Rays completed a mini-Boston Massacre with a 13-4 rout of the Red Sox as they reasserted AL East dominance. Scoring 7 times in the first 3 innings, Tampa Bay made sure Boston was never going to be in it, with the big blow a 3-run Danny Ayala homer (#11) in the 2nd. By the time we were done tallying the box score, Victor de Jesus was 3-5 with a HR (#6) and 3 RBI, Ayala had 3 hits and drove in 4, Jon Jimenez was 4-5 with 2 RBI, and Mike McKee, Dayle Jenkins and Robbie Salazar (seeing his first action since being recalled) each had 2 hits and a ribbie. All this support made it easy for Leo Ortega who went 6.1 7 2 2 2 4 to go to 3-2, 3.22. Bob Sirna coughed up Eric Knatz's 2nd homer of the day for a couple runs in the 8th in his 1 2/3 of work and Edgar Rios made his first Rays appearance of the year with a 1-2-3 9th.

Team record: 20-7. Next up: 4 games in Kansas City.
