Game 1: The Rays couldn't come through with runners on and as a result fell 5-4 to the White Sox in the series opener. Tampa Bay left 14 on base and the biggest culprit was Nelson Bocardo, 0-5 with 12 LOB including the bases loaded with 2 out in the 9th. They trailed 4-1 and tied it in the 7th on three consecutive bases-loaded walks, the only way they could score since they couldn't get hits when they counted. But right after equalizing, Caleb Ramos (0-1) gave up a run in the bottom of the inning that proved to be the winner. Greg Bookhart started and went 5.2 8 4 4 2 4 and Dave Frick had 2 more hits although his average dropped to .595.

Game 2: Tampa Bay ran into Omar Guerrero, winner of the last 2 Cy Youngs in the AL and were shut out 5-0 to drop below .500. Guerrero held them to 5 hits over 7 2/3 (one of them from Dave Frick, 1-2 and still at .590), and Gordie Ager (1-2) struggled with his control as he went 4 4 5 5 5 2.

Game 3: The Rays were swept thanks to a another tough loss, 6-5 in 10 innings at Guaranteed Rate Field which guaranteed them a 5-7 record to start 2046. Solo homers from Doug Johns (#1) in the 6th and Mario Saro (#2) in the 7th brought them back from a 5-3 deficit, but the offense couldn't do anything after that and the White Sox scored off Willie Minier (0-1) in the 10th to take the win and the sweep. Tony Cordova and Jose Castillo each hit solo shots, the 2nd of the year for both, earlier in the game and Jim Brophy had his issues at 4 9 5 4 0 4 with 2 homers allowed. Dave Frick watch: 2-4 with an RBI single, still hitting .581.

Team record: 5-7. Next up: An off-day to lick our wounds then back home for 3 against Philadelphia.
