April 27: Placed OF Omar Rodriguez on the 10-day IL with a strained rib cage muscle, recalled P Steve Abeles from AAA Durham.

Abeles will be up for a few days until Nate Thompson is recalled. The lefty was acquired just before the 2034 trade deadline and has pitched well at Durham the past couple of years in a multi-inning relief role with 65/60/60 ratings.

Game 1: Rays pitching put its third straight shutout on the board as Jeremy Curtis excelled in his fill-in start and the Rays took a 6-0 win at Yankee Stadium. Curtis, acquired for Josh Hanna in the offseason but relegated to long relief, took the traded Alfredo Vega's spot tonight and made his case for more starts by going 6 4 0 0 2 5. Tim Siqueiros, Jim Golunski and Tony Rey each chipped in an inning. Jaiden Hardaway set the tone by homering (#3) to lead off the game, and the next three batters doubled to bring home two more. The 3-0 lead held until the bats tacked on 3 more in the final two innings.

Game 2: The Rays' shutout streak of 35 2/3 innings came to an end in the 5th when Josh Carsello allowed a run, but that was the only run he allowed as the Rays sent the Yankees (who started the year 6-3) to their 12th straight defeat 4-1. It was a 1-1 game going into the 9th with Bo Angeac's 6th homer of the year the only tally, but Jon Jimenez came through with an RBI double and Daniel Vasquez added an RBI single before Jeff Baez walked with the bases loaded to force home run #4. Carsello was excellent as usual, going 7.1 5 1 1 4 5 but Tim Siqueiros notched win #2 by getting the final 2 outs of the 8th with Kikuo Kawase fanning 2 in a 1-2-3 9th for save #4. Jesus Castrellon made his Rays debut in RF tonight and went 1-4 with an 8th-inning double.

Game 3: Jon Soranno had another brutal outing and the Yankees ended their 12-game losing streak with an 8-3 win over the Rays. Soranno allowed 3 runs in the 1st and then 4 more in the 2nd to finish 2.1 5 7 7 3 2 after allowing 6 runs in his previous start. Newly-acquired Tim Gates wasn't much relief in relief as he allowed 2 of Soranno's runners to score and one of his own before the inning was over with New York up 8-0. He settled down over the next two innings and Steve Abeles, in his MLB debut, was excellent going 3 2 0 0 0 4, but the damage was done. The offense was stifled, with Jim Gebers' 2-4 with an RBI the only performance worth noting.

Team record: 16-6. Next up: An off-day then a weekend in Baltimore.
