Game 1: The Rays visited Petco Park for the first time in several years and made themselves at home with a 5-3 decision over the host Padres, consecutive win #11. Bo Angeac's 16th HR of the year in the 6th broke a 3-3 tie, and he added an RBI single for insurance in the 8th. Earlier Danny Ayala homered once again (#44) with a man on. Nate Thompson started and got the win, but he was far from sharp, allowing 10 hits and only striking out 1 in his 5.2 innings of work, as he continues to have a record (16-3) which flatters his ERA (4.45). Danny Medina went 1 1/3, Jim Golunski retired all 3 men he faced to stay perfect as a Ray, and Kikuo Kawase got the final 2 batters for save #30.

Game 2: The Rays' 11-game win streak came to a crashing halt today at Petco Park as the Padres pasted them 6-0. Jose Reynoso and Matt Washington combined on a 2-hit shutout of Tampa Bay with Jaiden Hardaway's double and single the only two safeties they managed. Meanwhile Nate Schultz turned in one of his poorer starts of the year (a good time to do so I guess since he could have been great and lost 1-0 today), going 4 7 5 5 0 2 with a pair of homers allowed and losing for only the second time this season (14-2). Eric Riley went 3 and gave up a run and Billy Hoyte had a scoreless inning.

Game 3: Tampa Bay dropped its second straight to San Diego today, losing 3-2 in 11 innings. Kevin Kerstetter and his 16-0 record got the start today, and fell behind 2-0 as the lefty went 5 6 2 2 3 5 in a decent but not sharp outing. His teammates did get him off the hook for the loss with a 2-run rally in the 8th on RBI singles from Danny Ayala and Eric Titcombe but couldn't push across the third run. On to extras we went, and after Mike Wherry put the first two men in the 11th on 1st and 3rd, Kikuo Kawase came on in hopes of a strikeout but instead 21-year-old catcher Alex Briatori singled up the middle to walk it off for the Padres. Jim Golunski finally had a man reach since joining the Rays, allowing an 8th-inning single but went 1 1/3 scoreless.

Team record: 96-26. Next up: An off-day to fly back home where the Detroit Tigers will await us for a 3-game weekend set.
