Game 1: A 0-0 game into the 6th got away from the Rays as Jose Mendoza got lit up in the 4th and the Mariners went on to take a 9-1 win over Tampa Bay at Publix Park. Mendoza was rolling but gave up a run in the 6th and with two men on he then yielded a 3-run homer to former Rays farmhand and fellow lefty Ricky Loya to finish 6 6 4 4 4 8 to take only his 3rd loss against 14 wins. Chris Toombs then gave up 4 more runs to really put the game out of reach. Jose Mendez hit his 12th HR in the 9th to avoid a shutout.

August 20: Optioned P Danny Hill to AAA Durham, recalled P Sean Forbes from AAA Durham.

Hill had been called up when Danny Romero was put on the restricted list, but he goes back down since we need a starter today. Forbes, one of our top prospects, struggled mightily in his stint with the big club last year then got hurt in the spring but has pitched well at Durham lately.

Game 2: The Rays scored 4 times in the 5th to take a 7-3 win over Seattle today. Sean Forbes retired the first 6 batters but gave up 3 in the 3rd before settling down and finishing 5 7 3 3 1 5 to pick up the win in his spot start and the bullpen shut the Mariners down the rest of the way. Jeff Baez tied the game with a 2-run HR (#9) in the 5th and Seth Williams put them ahead to stay with an RBI single. Andy Ruggles also drove in a pair with a solo HR (#27) and a single.

August 21: Optioned P Sean Forbes to AAA Durham, recalled P Alex Stephens from AAA Durham.

Game 3: A crazy game at Publix Park saw the Rays and Mariners deadlocked at 3 after 3 innings and it stayed that way until the 10th when Seattle scored 3 times only for the Rays to answer with 4 in the bottom of the inning for a thrilling 7-6 walk-off win. Jeff Brockman started and struggled early but hung in there to go 6 5 3 3 1 7 but Ed Pretty was pretty bad in the 10th, giving up a 3-run homer to put Seattle ahead. But Tampa Bay put on a pair against former Ray Tony Rey, and Mike McKee stepped up and blasted a 3-run shot (#5) to tie it up. They continued the rally, and later in the inning Pat Moyer delivered an RBI single to walk it off. Pretty picked up his 5th win however undeserved, and Seth Williams and Jose Mendez had 3-hit games. One bit of bad news, though: Jimmy Leonard strained his oblique and will be out 2 weeks.

Team record: 90-37. Next up: 4 games in Baltimore, which is sitting in the first wildcard spot.
