Game 1: A 3-man offense accounted for all the runs in a 9-7 win over Toronto that shouldn't have been that close. Luis Barela had a 3-run HR (#37) and RBI single to knock in 4, Kevin Morley launched a 3-run shot (#7) and Jose Mendez drilled a 2-run double to supply the offense, and Brad Jackson pitched well enough (5 8 4 3 1 2) to get the win and go to 15-7, 4.66. With a 9-4 lead Ed Pretty came on and immediately put three men on, and then Freddy Zamora gave up 3 straight singles to score them. Mike Barkley had to hold the fort in the 9th for save #27.

Game 2: The Rays ran roughshod on the Jays in a 16-4 rout. Luis Barela topped his 4-RBI game yesterday by driving in 5 on a pair of homers to give him 39 and a single to give him 122 RBI. He's taken over the MLB WAR lead at 7.8 and might become the 2nd man in MLB history after Frank Robinson to win the MVP in both leagues. His chief rival for the hardware is teammate Josh Alexander and he did his best to keep up with Barela by blasting a 3-run shot (#44) while Tony Cordova added a 2-run jack (#7). Jose Mendez drove in 3 more runs and Seth Williams had 3 doubles and an RBI. Greg Bookhart converted the run support into win #12, although he finished 5.1 7 4 4 0 8.

Game 3: Gordie Ager was brilliant and got the win in a 5-2 triumph over Toronto, his 3rd with the Rays and only his 5th decision in 13 starts since joining the club. Ager was 6 3 0 0 1 8 and Mike Barkley had a 1-2-3 9th for save #28. Kevin Morley had a 3-run homer in consecutive starts (#8) and Seth Williams had a solo blast (#15). Luis Barela didn't homer again but was 2-4 with a double and RBI.

Team record: 106-47, we've wrested the best record in MLB back from the White Sox now. Next up: An off-day then Columbus visits for 3 in some late-season interleague action.
