I totally forgot to write up this series before the All-Star Break, so here it goes out of order:

Game 1: The Rays scored 6 times in the 8th inning to turn a potential 3-2 defeat into an 8-3 win against St. Louis at Publix Park. Seth Williams tied it with a solo homer (#25) leading off the inning, and Dave Frick delivered a 2-run single for the tie-breaking and game-winning hit. The rally made a winner of Chris Williams (4-0) after Brad Jackson had a decent 6 8 3 3 1 3 outing. Jose Mendez homered earlier, his 9th.

Game 2: The bottom of the 8th was the decisive inning again for the Rays as Dave Frick had the game-winning hit yet again, an RBI single to break a 3-3 tie and give Tampa Bay a 4-3 win. They had built a 3-0 lead in part on solo homers from Jeff Googins (#2) and Josh Alexander (#24) but Johnny Soland got into trouble in the 7th and Ed Pretty was terrible, allowing Soland's men to score and one of his own to allow St. Louis to equalize. Soland still was an excellent 6.2 5 2 2 1 4 with Freddy Zamora getting win #6 and Kikuo Kawase save #24.

Game 3: The Rays completed the sweep of St. Louis with yet another late-inning win, this time walking it off in the bottom of the 9th on a 2-run Dan Gregory single to take a 6-5 decision. It was a back-and-forth game with the Rays falling behind 4-2, tying it up, and then allowing a run in the top of the 9th to go behind again. Joel Gird started and struggled some, going 5 6 4 4 3 2. Freddy Zamora, who gave up the run in the 9th, picked up the win for the second straight day (#7) thanks to the bottom of the 9th rally.

Team record: 77-20. Next up: After the All-Star break, we visit Baltimore for 3.
