Game 1: Nate Thompson continued his in-season renaissance as the Rays edged the Yankees in New York, 3-2. Thompson went 6.1 7 1 1 1 7 for the win as he's held opponents to 4 runs in his last 27 1/3 innings over 4 starts and now improves to 8-2, 4.67. Mike Wherry got five outs in the 7th and 8th although he allowed a Mario Aguilar solo shot, and Kikuo Kawase fanned a pair around a walk in the 9th for his 18th save. Danny Ayala singled in a run in the 1st, Omar Rodriguez put the Rays ahead to stay in the 6th with his RBI single, and Jaiden Hardaway gave the Rays an insurance run they needed with HR #15 in the 7th as they got the better of Yankee ace Eric Peterson.

Game 2: The Rays rolled to a 9-2 win over the Yankees behind Nate Schultz and a balanced offensive attack today. Schultz retired the first 13 Yankees before running into a bit of trouble in the 5th when he allowed two runs, but that was all he gave up in a 7 3 2 2 2 6 performance to improve to 10-1, 3.10. Billy Hoyte went 6 up, 6 down to finish things out. On offense everyone had a hit except Bo Angeac, and everyone had an RBI except Jaiden Hardaway and Eric Titcombe, but they had 2 hits each with Hardaway contributing 3 stolen bases. The run-scoring was bookended by Jeff Baez's RBI triple in the 2nd which got things going, and Jon Jimenez's 2-run HR (#23) in the 9th to cap things off.

Game 3: Josh Hanna was excellent today as he and two relievers combined on a 3-hitter to take down the Yankees 2-1 and sweep the series. Hanna had his sinker working as the Yankees made 12 of their 21 outs against him on the ground, finishing 7 2 1 1 1 4 on 98 pitches to go to 10-1, 2.52. Tim Siqueiros (ERA of 0.47) and Kikuo Kawase (ERA of 0.89) finished off New York without incident with Kawase notching save #19. The bats put two on the board in the 1st and thanks to the pitching they stood up. Danny Ayala and Bo Angeac had RBI singles to account for the scoring as one-time Rays property Jimmy West held them in check through 6, but it was just enough.

Team record: 57-17. Next up: We hope a cross-country jet plane to Oakland for four games starting tomorrow.
