Game 1: The final score said 9-1 Rays but that was misleading as Tampa Bay scored 7 times over the final 2 innings to break open a pitchers' duel. Longtime Yankee ace Eric Peterson was up against Tim Gates, and Gates left the game up 1-0 after going 5 4 0 0 1 8 on 95 pitches. A Bo Angeac error cost the Rays the tying run and Gates the win as New York scored off Chris Toombs in the 6th, but Eric Titcombe took Peterson deep with HR #42 in the 7th to make it 2-1. Then the floodgates opened with Jon Jimenez hitting a 3-run jack (#22) in the 8th and Jaiden Hardaway adding a 2-run shot in the 9th (#25). Toombs, who went 2 strong innings despite the unearned run, picked up his first MLB win.

Game 2: The Rays outslugged the Yankees 8-5 thanks primarily to 3 big homers. Omar Rodriguez blasted #29 with 2 men on in the 3rd to give the Rays an early 3-0 lead, and after the Yankees went ahead 4-3 Danny Ayala drilled a 2-run shot (#26) to put them ahead to stay. Daniel Vasquez added #23 in the 7th to provide some insurance, and Jeremy Curtis picked up his 10th win of the year despite not pitching all that well (5.1 9 5 4 2 4). Damani Cotton and Jim Golunski went the next 2 2/3 and Kikuo Kawase turned in another perfect 2-whiff inning for save #33.

Game 3: The Rays routed the Yankees 10-1, and unlike the 9-1 victory in the first game this one was over early. After the Yankees briefly took a 1-0 lead in the first off Josh Carsello, Danny Ayala (#27, his 3rd in 4 games) and Jeff Hayes (#4, all coming this week) hit solo homers to make it 2-1 before they blew it open with a 6-run 3rd keyed by Daniel Malone's grand slam (#11). Bo Angeac chipped in #27 as part of a 3-5, 2-RBI day. Carsello settled in nicely after some early struggles once he got the big lead, and finished 7 5 1 1 3 9 to improve to 14-6, 3.23. Even Tony Rey pitched 2 scoreless 1-hit innings in case you were wondering how things went today.

Team record: 101-35. Next up: 3 games in Detroit.
