Game 1: The Rays came back and erased a 7-4 deficit in the 8th before walking it off in the 11th to take an 8-7 win over the Yankees in their series opener at Publix Park. Tony Cordova's RBI single was the decider and made a winner of Freddy Zamora (3-1). With two out in the 8th and nobody on, pinch-hitter Mike Willis walked, Dan Gregory homered (#8) to cut the lead to 1, Seth Williams singled and Josh Alexander doubled him home to tie it at 7. Greg Bookhart had a very rough start, shelled to the tune of 4.2 9 7 7 2 4 but the pen took over from there with 6 1/3 innings of one-hit, no-run ball.

Game 2: Brad Jackson was dealing and the Rays made it 6 straight wins with a 9-3 romp over the Yankees. Jackson was 6 4 1 1 0 6 and is now 11-2, 3.92. Luis Barela broke the game open in the 3rd with a 3-run blast (#23) which made it 5-0, and Josh Alexander drove in two more runs with a double and a single, giving him 108 RBI in 100 games and extending his hitting streak to 18.

Game 3: Rays pitching was battered for 20 hits in a 9-inning game but they just barely lost 9-8. Jose Mendoza continued his 2043 struggles by going 5 10 5 5 1 7 although the last two runs off him came when Dan Anderson (who allowed 6 hits of his own) gave up a 3-run homer to first man he faced. Mendoza is now 9-7, 5.23. The offense kept them in it and was led by Luis Barela who homered twice to give him 25 on the season and drove in 5 runs. Josh Alexander's RBI double in the 9th made it 19 straight with a hit and got them within one but he couldn't be brought home.

Team record: 75-28. Next up: 3 at home vs Boston.
