Game 1: The Rays keep on rolling, making it 12 straight wins with an 11-2 drubbing of the Guardians at Progressive Field. The unlikely hitting hero was Jon Callahan, making his Rays season debut. Filling in for a tired Seth Williams at 1B, Callahan blasted a pair of homers and drove in 3. Doug Johns hit #12 solo, and Nelson Bocardo drove in 3 runs with a pair of doubles. Joel Gird (3-2) went 5.1 3 0 0 4 4 for the win.

Game 2: Luis Barela's 3-run homer in the first (#9) was the key hit as the Rays edged Cleveland 4-3 to make the winning streak a baker's dozen. Jon Callahan, filling in today at SS, had another big hit with an RBI single which proved to be the ultimate difference. Greg Bookhart (5-1) was 5.2 6 3 3 2 4 and picked up the win, while Sean Forbes pitched around a couple of hits in the 9th for save #8. There was some bad news, though: after striking out the side in the 8th Mike Robichaux was diagnosed with biceps tendinitis and will miss 6-7 weeks.

May 17: Placed P Mike Robichaux on the 10-day IL with biceps tendinitis, recalled P Ismael Vargas from AAA Durham.

Robichaux's injury leaves us without a dependable late-inning lefty. Vargas has been anything but dependable in his various stints with the big club, but he is a lefty. Speaking of lefties, Jon Cunningham has made a surprisingly early recovery from his torn flexor tendon last May after being thought to miss most of this season. He's on a rehab assignment and Durham and has looked good, so that will be a huge help.

Game 3: The Rays swept Cleveland for consecutive win #14, taking a 5-2 decision. Jim Brophy turned in one of his strongest outings of the year at 6.2 3 2 2 2 5 to improve to 4-0, and Sean Forbes got the save again, his 9th. 2-run homers from Jose Castillo (#7) and Chris Fox (#2) were the big blows for Tampa Bay.

Team record: 34-9. Next up: An off-day then back to Publix Park for 3 against the Yankees.
