Game 1: The Rays got a solid start from Jeremy Curtis and some solid offense in a 7-3 win at Progressive Field over the Guardians. Aside from being a bit wild, Curtis turned in a fine 6 4 1 1 4 5 performance to improve to 5-2, 3.62. Billy Hoyte gave up a couple runs as he's allowed 7 in his last 4 appearances before Ken Burgess cleaned things up. Omar Rodriguez was the man on offense, driving 4 with a single and a 3-run HR in the 3rd (#14) which was immediately followed by a Danny Ayala solo shot (#17).

Game 2: Another comfortable win in Cleveland for the Rays as they swamped the Guardians 8-1. Jon Jimenez is officially done with his cold start to the year as he belted a pair of solo homers to give him 11, Danny Ayala was 3-4 with HR #18 and 2 RBI, Jeff Baez had a 2-run blast (#4) and Jaiden Hardaway kept his modest hitting streak alive with a solo shot (#9). Meanwhile on the mound Ron Adams was dealing after a series of rough starts but had to leave after the 5th with back spasms which won't keep him from his next start. He went 5 1 0 0 1 6 to become MLB's first 10-game winner in 2038 and Jeff Reece provided 3 innings of sound relief (allowing only a solo homer) to pick him up.

Game 3: The Rays swept the season series from Cleveland including this one with a 5-0 win on a combined one-hitter from Josh Carsello and two relievers. It looks like facing the Guardians was the cure for the Rays' recent starter woes and Carsello was the latest to thrive, going 7 1 0 0 3 7 and no-hitting Cleveland for 5 2/3 before giving up a single. Ken Burgess and Mike Wherry finished off the combined shutout with an inning apiece. On the offensive side Danny Ayala continued his rampage, driving in 3 more on a 2-run double in the 4th to get Tampa Bay on the board and adding an RBI single. Jon Jimenez and Jeff Hayes chipped in RBI singles as well.

Team record: 50-21. Next up: An off-day then we head to Baltimore for 3 games.
