Game 1: The Yankees remained winless against the Rays after a 15-7 beatdown at Publix Park that really wasn't that close as Billy Hoyte allowed 4 Yankee runs in the 9th. Ben Hill had a huge game, going 3-5 with a triple, grand slam HR (#7) and 5 RBI in total while Danny Ayala hit #43 and Bo Angeac #24. Jaiden Hardaway was 2-4 with 2 RBI and an HBP and Omar Rodriguez drove in a pair. Danny Romero became MLB's first 2038 20-game winner, although it wasn't his finest start as he went 5 10 3 3 0 5. Steve Beaver relieved him and had to leave in the 7th with a sore elbow, which will shelve him.

Durham Playoff Update: Shock at Durham Athletic Park tonight as the Rochester Red Wings beat the Bulls 4-1 to win the opening round of the IL Playoffs, snapping Durham's 7-year streak as Governors' Cup holders. Steve Abeles pitched much better this time out (7 5 3 2 1 5) but Durham's failure to get anything going offensively cost them as they left 12 on base.

September 22: Placed P Steve Beaver on the 10-day IL with a sore elbow, recalled P Chris Crabb from AA Montgomery.

Crabb has toiled in our farm system for 5 seasons now after we acquired him from Atlanta, and it's time for him to get a taste of the show. He's a two-way player who played a lot of SS at Montgomery although he didn't hit much. He was quite effective pitching, though, turning in a 1.17 ERA with 34 whiffs in 30 IP and has 65 stuff.

Game 2: The Rays continued to feast on mediocre (oh hell, bad) Yankee pitching as they moved to 18-0 this year against them after a 16-1 blowout. MVP-elect Jaiden Hardaway was 3-4 with a walk and 5 RBI, including a bases-clearing double, Jon Jimenez went 3-5 with a double, homer (#25) and 4 RBI, and Daniel Vasquez was 2-5 with HR #27 and 3 RBI. Mike McKee also added #20, a solo shot and Omar Rodriguez had a 4-hit day with a ribbie. Jose Mendoza got his first MLB win with a dominating start (5.2 4 1 1 3 9) while Chris Crabb made his MLB debut a successful one by retiring all 4 batters he faced, 2 of them via strikeout.

Game 3: Well they did it - the Rays went 19-0 vs the Yankees this season with a comfortable 7-2 win at Publix Park. It was 7-1 by the 4th inning and all that was left was accounting after that. Tim Gates joined teammate Danny Romero as a 20-game winner, going 6 5 1 1 1 7 to improve to 20-4, 3.64. The offense was led by Jim Gebers, 2-3 with a 2-run HR (#32) and 3 RBI. Gebers has had a remarkable season as a non-full-time player, now with 32 HR and 83 RBI in 392 AB. Bo Angeac's going to be mighty expensive next year so don't be surprised if Gebers becomes the full-time 3B. Ben Hill had the game's other big hit, a 2-run single, and he now has 28 RBI in 28 games played.

Team record: 115-37. Next up: We close out the home portion of our regular season schedule with a weekend visit from Boston.
