Game 1: For the third time this season Nate Schultz faced his former teammates and for the third time this season the Rays hit him hard as they took a 6-3 win over Baltimore at Publix Park. They got Schultz for 5 runs in 4 1/3 innings with the big blows a Bo Angeac 3-run HR (#25) and a Daniel Vasquez solo shot. Vasquez later added another solo blast off the Baltimore pen to give him 35 on the season. Alfredo Vegas started and made his usual solid if unspectacular start, going 6.1 5 3 3 1 8 with his final line marred by 2 runs in the 7th, an inning he probably shouldn't have pitched. He's now 11-2 as a Ray. Danny Medina struggled, allowing a couple of hits to score one of Vega's runners, but Mike Wherry went 1 1/3 before Kikuo Kawase got a measure of redemption after being bombed in Baltimore last week, striking out 3 in the 9th for save #36.

Game 2: The Rays came back from 4-1 down to take a 5-4 win over Baltimore and survived an injury scare. After giving up a 2-run homer in the 6th which put the Orioles up by 3, Josh Carsello had to leave with an arm issue but fortunately it's just a sprained elbow and he will be out a week. It's going to put a crimp into his shot at 20 wins but we dodged a bullet. Omar Rodriguez's sac fly in the bottom of the 8th brought home the winning run on a day the bats were somewhat muted with only 7 hits. 3 of them were homers, though: Jaiden Hardaway's solo shot (#22), a 2-run Danny Ayala blast (#42) which got them within 4-3, and Jim Gebers' 19th of the year in the 7th which tied the game. Carsello finished 5.2 5 4 4 1 7 beforer Willie Bertone went 1 1/3. Jim Golunski nabbed win #4 with 1 1/3 of work and Tim Siqueiros struck out the 2 Orioles he faced to notch his first save of the season.

Game 3: Tampa Bay completed the sweep with an easy 9-3 win over Baltimore. Danny Ayala homered twice and drove in 3 to keep him leading the AL in HR and RBI and 44 and 112, Eric Titcombe was 3-5 with a HR (#22) and 3 RBI and Dayle Jenkins had a 2-run double to lead the offense. Jon Soranno did it on the mound, going 7.1 5 3 3 3 6 to improve to 13-1, 3.47. He was only on 82 pitches going into the 8th and had allowed one run, but he left having loaded the bases only for Danny Medina, who finished out the game, to walk home two of his runners.

Team record: 117-27. Next up: An off-day, then we're back on the road for 3 at Yankee Stadium.
