Game 1: A real Jekyll-and-Hyde game as a 1-0 pitchers' duel in the 6th turned into the Rays hanging on to an 8-7 win over Seattle at Publix Park. The Rays put 7 on the board in the bottom of the 6th, highlighted by Jose Castillo's 3-run homer (#28) and a bases-clearing double from Dave Frick, but the long wait to come out for the 7th took something out of Gordie Ager, who gave up 3 runs on a pair of homers and finished 6 4 4 3 0 4 but still got the win to go to 15-5. Seattle got 3 more in the 8th to cut it to 8-7 but Willie Minier did the job in the 9th for save #6 with the Rays and #25 overall.

Game 2: No nail-biter here as the Rays romped over the Mariners 13-3. Another big inning figured large as they scored 8 times in the 3rd to go up 11-0. Doug Johns had a 3-run homer for his 30th and went over the 100-RBI mark in the process, while Jose Mendez, Luis Barela, Dan Gregory and Nelson Bocardo each drove in a pair. Marc Gibson was sharp early before giving up 3 in the middle innings and finished 5 4 3 3 3 8 to improve to 4-2 with the Rays while Jon Harbour hurled 4 scoreless to finish the game and notch his 3rd save.

Game 3: The Rays completed the sweep of the second-best team in MLB with a 6-3 win in the finale. Dan Robinson (12-5) was brilliant against his former team, going 7 3 1 1 1 5. Things got a bit dicey in the 9th when Dave Lugo gave up 2 runs to make it 6-3 and the tying run came to the plate before Willie Minier retired him, although it wasn't a save situation. Seth Williams had a 2-run homer (#18) in the first to get the ball rolling, and Luis Barela (#33) and Jose Mendez (#21) added solo shots.

Team record: 88-38. Next up: An off-day then Toronto comes to town for 3.
