Game 1: Mario Saro went deep twice to lead the Rays to an 8-4 win over New York at Yankee Stadium in the opener of the team's 4-game set. The rookie CF had a 3-run homer in the 5th which put Tampa Bay ahead to stay and added a solo shot in the next inning to give him 13. Jose Castillo also had a 2-run shot in the 5th (#25). Greg Bookhart had one bad sequence where he put two on and gave up a 3-run homer to former Ray Jon Jimenez but was dazzling otherwise, improving to 12-4 after going 6 3 3 3 1 6. Mike Robichaux picked up his first Rays save by going the final 1 2/3.

Game 2: It was the Mario Saro show once again at Yankee Stadium as he hit two homers for the second straight game, both of them clutch as his first with a man on in the 9th tied the game at 6 and his second (#15) won it in the 12th as the Rays prevailed 7-6. Seth Williams had a 2-run shot early (#16) but a rough outing from Gordie Ager (6 7 6 6 1 8 with 2 HR allowed) saw the Rays trail 6-4 before Saro's heroics. Willie Minier retired all 5 batters he faced including 3 via strikeout to earn his 2nd Rays win.

Game 3: The Rays made it three straight over the Yanks and 5 in a row overall as they took a tight 3-2 affair. Marc Gibson rebounded from his disastrous start last time out by going 6 3 1 1 2 2 for his first win in Rays colors, and with the "A" bullpen tired from last night's 12-inning game, Jon Harbour got the call in the 9th and retired New York 1-2-3 for his 2nd save. Jose Castillo had a first-inning homer (#26), Mario Saro didn't hit any more homers but had an RBI double, and Jared Richardson's sac fly proved to be the difference.

Game 4: The Yankees took out a series worth of frustration by pummeling the Rays 15-0 in the finale with the loss hurting in more ways that one as the red-hot Mario Saro separated his shoulder making a diving catch in the 2nd and will miss a month. Chris Parham will get a run as the everyday CF with Dan Gregory still out for another week or two. The bats only managed 6 hits and Dan Robinson was roasted today, unusually wild at 4 5 6 6 5 2 and he fell to 11-4. Jose Morales and Jon Harbour each gave up 4 runs to really make it a rout.

Team record: 74-32. Next up: Another 4-game road series, this time in Houston.
