Game 1: The Rays never seem to have a lot of success at Nationwide Ballpark, and tonight was no different as they dropped a 3-2 decision in 12 innings. Ron Adams started and pitched well (7 6 2 2 2 4) and Tim Siqueiros, Jim Golunski and Kikuo Kawase got out of jams in the 8th through 10th (Kawase pitched around a leadoff triple in the 10th) before the Lightning got to Tony Rey for a run in the 12th. Not much offense of course but the highlight was the sight of the lumbering Eric Titcombe chugging it around the bases on an inside-the-park homer, his 1st of the year, in the 3rd.

Game 2: Alfredo Vega was efficient and the Rays' offense came to play tonight as they took a 7-4 win in Columbus. Vega went 8 7 4 3 0 5 on only 75 pitches before Jim Golunski fanned a pair in the 9th for his 1st save with Kikuo Kawase unavailable after throwing 35 pitches last night. The bats put 6 runs on the board by the 4th with Jon Jimenez delivering a pair of RBI singles, Daniel Vasquez adding a 2-run single and Jaiden Hardaway going 3-5 with an RBI. Omar Rodriguez gave them a little more breathing room with HR #2 in the 9th.

Game 3: Josh Carsello made it 2-for-2 in brilliant starts this year as he went 7 5 1 1 0 7 to improve to 2-0 in a 6-2 win over the Lightning at Nationwide Ballpark. The lefty was in command throughout, with Danny Medina allowing a run in the 8th and Mike Wherry pitching a scoreless 9th in his first appearance of the year. The Rays chased reigning NL Cy Young winner Josh Doyle in the 4th with a 5-run inning that saw Doyle walk a pair with the bases loaded and give up a 2-run single to Jaiden Hardaway. Daniel Malone, who had one of those bases-loaded walks, homered in the first time in the big leagues with a solo shot in the 6th.

Team record: 4-2. Next up: 4 games in Toronto.
