September 5: Activated P Jose Mendoza from the 10-day IL, optioned P Jonathan Melendez to AAA Durham.

Before getting knocked around in his last outing, Melendez was impressive in relief and has a shot at a bullpen spot next season.

Game 1: The Rays' bats for a change labored on Labor Day as they only scored once. It looked like it'd still be enough for a win but Chris Martin gave up 2 runs in the 9th to blow his 3rd save and the Rays fell 2-1 to the Orioles. Gordie Ager was outstanding (7 2 0 0 1 6) and Sean Forbes had a 1-2-3 8th but Martin was hit right off the bat in the 9th for the two runs. Dave Frick's RBI single brought home the only Rays score.

Game 2: After running roughshod on their opponents lately the Rays were sent to defeat for the second straight day as Brad Jackson was lit up in an 8-4 loss. Jackson (12-8) was 5.2 10 6 4 0 6 as everything found a hole today. Dave Frick (#9), Jose Mendez (#19) and Josh Beckett (#12) had late solo homers to make the final score a bit more respectable.

Game 3: The Rays have only been swept once in a 3-game-or-more series this season and they weren't going to let it happen again as they blasted Baltimore 15-1 at Publix Park. The 15 runs and 15 hits were all the more impressive given that the bench was emptied today. Sub supreme Tomas Laboy hit 2 more homers to give him 12 in only 155 at-bats as he's hitting a cool 348/399/658 this year, Jeff Googins was 3-5 with a double, steal and 3 RBI, and Chris Parham had a 2-run double. Lineup mainstay Luis Barela did play and hit HR #30. The beneficiary of all this bench bopping was Greg Bookhart, who had his best start in a month at 6 4 1 1 2 3 and improved to 15-5.

Team record: 101-36. Next up: 4 games at Yankee Stadium.
