Game 1: Trailing 3-1 into the 7th, the Rays exploded late to score 7 times in the 7th and 8th and take an 8-5 win over the Yankees in the first of their 4-game set at the Stadium. Seth Williams had an early solo shot (#16) and singled in another run while Dan Gregory was 3-4 with a 3-run HR (#7) to cap a 5-run 8th. Jim Brophy (18-3) hung around long enough to get yet another win, going 7 7 3 3 2 6. Chris Martin loaded the bases in the 9th but didn't allow a run for save #33.

Game 2: A scoreless game into the 6th ended up a 5-0 Rays win as Johnny Soland pitched well. The veteran righty went 5 3 0 0 3 4 on 95 pitches to improve to 13-3, 4.41 and Jose Mendoza went 2 2/3 scoreless in relief of him. A 3-run 6th won it for the Rays keyed by a 2-run Josh Beckett double, and Doug Johns was 3-3 with 2 RBI.

Game 3: The Rays hurled their second straight shutout of the Yankees, taking a tight 2-0 affair behind Gordie Ager. The lefty was 7 3 0 0 2 5 and upped his record to 13-5, 2.95. Sean Forbes pitched the 8th and Satoshi Sato the 9th for save #8. Mike Willis' 2-run homer in the 5th (#6) accounted for the game's only scoring.

Game 4: Brad Jackson was excellent before the Rays had to hold on in the end for a 6-4 win over the Yankees to sweep the series. Jackson (13-8) was 7 5 1 1 1 5 but Leo Bernal and Jose Mendoza combined to allow 3 runs in the 8th to let New York back in it, and Chris Martin had another shaky save (#34) after putting a pair of runners on. Seth Williams was 4-5 with an RBI single in the 3rd, an inning which saw the Rays score 4 times capped by a 2-run Doug Johns homer (#14). Josh Alexander was also 2-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI.

Team record: 105-36. The division was clinched for the 24th straight season at the beginning of the series. Next up: We've helped Toronto pull within 3 games of the Yankees for the second wild card and now it's our turn to return the favor for New York as we visit the Jays for 3.
