I think I forgot to mention Joel Gird was sent down in all the roster shuffling last week, and then he lasted one batter at Durham before having to leave with arm issues which turned out to require radial nerve decompression surgery. He's done for the year and was moved to the 60-day IL. He'll be ready for spring training but his stuff had already diminished a little after his previous injury so it's possible he's not usable next year.

Game 1: The Rays' bats were shackled by Josh Grote and Angels pitching, held to 5 hits in a 2-1 loss. Dan Robinson pitched alright, but gave up a 2-run homer in the first and that turned out to be it. He dropped to 9-3 after going 5 5 2 2 3 4.

Game 2: The Rays' bullpen blew a 6-2 lead in the late innings as Ben Moses allowed 2 in the 8th and Mike Robichaux 2 more in the 9th but Tomas Laboy came to the rescue with a solo homer in the 10th (#12) to give Tampa Bay a 7-6 win over LA. A 4-run 7th appeared to put the game away for the Rays, capped by a 3-run Doug Johns shot (#25) while Luis Barela was 4-5 with 2 RBI. Jim Brophy deserved a win after going 6 4 2 2 2 6 but the bullpen saddled him with a no-decision. Robichaux vultured win #3 with the Rays while Willie Minier got his first save opportunity since joining the club and converted it, getting all 3 outs via the whiff and his 20th save overall.

Game 3: The Rays romped 9-0 in the final behind Greg Bookhart and a 4-homer power display including a pair from Jose Castillo which drove in 3. Bookhart (11-4) was a tidy 6 5 0 0 1 4 while Castillo's pair of longballs gave him 22 on the year. Also going yard were Jose Mendez (#16) and Mario Saro (#10) and Dave Frick had a key 2-run double which broke open a 1-0 game in the 6th.

Team record: 66-27. Next up: The west coast swing continues with 3 games in Oakland.
