Game 1: The Rays took a 7-5 win over the slumping Yankees at Publix Park to open a 3-game set. A 6-run 3rd inning sent the Rays on their way, keyed by 2-run singles from Luis Barela and Doug Johns. Seth Williams was on base four times with two singles and two walks and drove in a run as well. Johnny Soland started and shut New York out for 4 innings before leaving with a strained back which will force him to miss his next start, so Jon Harbour (6-0) got the win with 3 strong innings in relief. After Chris Parham and Jose Mendoza made a mess in the 8th as Mendoza gave up a grand slam to former Rays star Jon Jimenez with Parham's runners on, Chris Martin struck out 3 in the 9th for save #36.

Game 2: Gordie Ager pitched well and Dave Frick drove in 4 runs as the Rays sent the Yankees to defeat once again 6-2. Ager (14-6) was 6 3 2 2 1 7 while Tony Cordova and Mike Willis added RBI doubles. I'll take this moment to acknowledge the incredible seasons Satoshi Sato and Sean Forbes are having as each pitched a scoreless inning. Sato has a 1.03 ERA and 10/90 BB/K ratio in 59 innings, good for 2.9 WAR and Forbes has an 0.53 ERA and 5/68 BB/K ratio in 51 innings, worth 2.6 WAR.

Game 3: Brad Jackson went the distance for his second complete-game shutout of the season as he scattered 7 hits in a 3-0 Rays win over the Yankees. Only the struggles of Toronto have kept New York afloat in the second wild card race as they're 1 up on the Jays and have also allowed Minnesota to sneak within 2 1/2. Jackson walked none and fanned 7 to improve to 15-8 and get his ERA below 4 for the first time since June 3 at 3.97. All of the runs came courtesy of a 3-run Luis Barela homer (#33) in the 3rd inning.

Team record: 114-37. Next up: We close out the home portion of our regular season schedule with 3 against Boston.
