Game 1: The Rays had a 3-0 lead going into the bottom of the 5th and Jim Brophy was cruising along until suddenly he wasn't, and the Rays ended up losing 8-3 to Detroit to make it three straight defeats. Brophy (7-2) couldn't get anyone out in the 5th and finished 4.2 10 6 6 1 2. Dan Gregory (#2) and Luis Barela (#18) had first-inning solo homers and Seth Williams had 4 hits to provide the offense.

Game 2: A pitchers' duel which saw Dan Robinson hurl 7 scoreless finished a 1-0 Tigers win over the Rays, sending Tampa Bay to its season-high 4th straight loss. Robinson was pitching to contact and doing it well, going 7 4 0 0 2 0 in the no-decision but his teammates could only scratch out 5 hits and Detroit broke through for a run with 2 out in the 9th against Ben Moses (1-2), the second walk-off loss he's suffered this month.

Game 3: The Rays finally broke out of it in a big way, crushing the Tigers 10-2 to snap their 4-game losing streak. MLB runaway RBI leader Doug Johns had a huge game in adding to his totals, delivering a 3-run homer in the 3rd (#21) and a 2-run single to give him 5 ribbies on the day and 79 on the year, 20 ahead of the competition. Dan Gregory brought home a pair and Seth Williams was 2-3 with an RBI. Gordie Ager (10-3) was excellent at 8 6 2 2 0 2, meaning the Rays starters the last two nights have allowed as many runs (2) as they've had strikeouts (2) in 15 innings.

Game 4: Tampa Bay salvaged a split of the series with a 5-3 win behind Joel Gird and 3 RBIs from Seth Williams. Gird (4-4) has been up and down this season but he was up today, going 6.2 7 3 3 1 3 for the win, and Sean Forbes had a 1-2-3 9th for save #13. Williams had a 2-run triple in a 4-run 2nd inning which won the game for them and later singled in an insurance run in the 9th. Chris Parham got a rare start and went 3-5 with a double and RBI.

Team record: 51-21. Next up: We head back home to Tampa for a rematch of three of the last four World Series as the Reds come to town for 3.
