Game 1: It was an old-fashioned beatdown at Publix Park as the Rays routed the Red Sox 12-0 behind 6 homers from the bats and 7 shutout innings from Ron Adams. Omar Rodriguez homered twice to give him 5 and that's how many runs he drove in, Bo Angeac also went deep twice with #s 3 and 4, and Danny Ayala (#2) and Eric Titcombe (#4) also found the seats. Adams meanwhile turned in his best start of the year going 7 2 0 0 2 7 and Willie Bertone snapped out of his funk with 2 scoreless innings of his own to complete the shutout.

Game 2: Daniel Vasquez broke a 4-4 tie in the 7th with a 3-run homer and the Rays went on to take a 9-4 decision over Boston. Vasquez, off to a slow start this season, hit his 3rd of the year after the Rays had squandered previous chances to go ahead, including a bases-loaded nobody out situation in the 6th. Omar Rodriguez put the game away in the 8th with a 2-run shot, his 6th. Jeff Baez continued his hot start with a 2-run double (he's .396-2-12), Jaiden Hardaway was 3-5 with an RBI, and Eric Titcombe was 2-4 with an RBI. Alfredo Vega started and struggled somewhat, going 5 5 4 3 0 6 with another homer yielded before the staff's forgotten man, Jeremy Curtis, went 3 shutout innings for his first Rays win with Tony Rey taking care of the 9th.

Game 3: The Rays weren't their best today but they managed to scrape out a 5-4 win over Boston to make it 8 straight triumphs. Josh Carsello turned in his first relatively poor start of the season, giving up a 3-run homer in the 2nd and finishing 5 9 4 4 0 7 but the bullpen held Boston from there, enabling the comeback. Billy Hoyte, who had yet to make an effective appearance this year, turned in two scoreless innings and wound up with the win when Daniel Vasquez came through with the big hit again, a 2-run HR (#4) to tie it in the 6th before Jeff Baez doubled and scored on Daniel Malone's sac fly in the 7th. Bo Angeac drove in the first two runs with a single and a solo HR (#5). Tim Siqueiros took care of the 8th and then Kikuo Kawase made it interesting in the 9th, giving up a leadoff single ahead of Eric Titcombe's two-base error putting men on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. But KK got a grounder at the drawn-in infield and then whiffed the next two for save #3.

Team record: 12-4. Next up: Toronto visits for 3 games.
