Game 1: The Rays' 14-game winning streak came to an unceremonious end as the Tigers walloped them 8-2 at Comerica Park. We have a Jim Brophy problem as the once-dominating lefty has been downgraded to 45 stuff and lost about 3 MPH off his fastball, and his performance today reflected that as he went 3 7 6 3 4 1 and dropped to 2-2, 5.28. He's making $14M so nobody will offer anything for him in trade; we may very well be in the market for a starter. Seth Williams hit HR #3 in a losing effort.

Game 2: The Rays have started a streak of the wrong kind as the Tigers beat them once again, this time 6-2 as Ben Moses struggled. Their most consistent starter so far this season, Moses (3-2) didn't have it today and he couldn't lead the Rays to the promised land with a line of 5 8 5 5 3 0. Dan Gregory supplied all the offense with a 2-run single and then had to leave the game with another of his injuries, the latest being back spasms (moderate) for a week.

May 2: Placed OF Dan Gregory on the 10-day IL with back spasms, recalled OF Jared Richardson from AAA Durham.

Richardson, who impressed last year while Gregory and others were out, gets another chance.

Game 3: Tampa Bay salvaged a game from this series, downing Detroit 7-5. Mario Saro blasted a pair of homers (#6 & 7) and drove in 3 to lead the way, and Luis Barela also went deep with #4. Marc Gibson improved to 5-0 despite a shaky 5.1 10 4 4 1 1 record and now has a 5.97 ERA to go with that perfect record. Did I mention we could use a starter? Satoshi Sato recorded his 4th save despite allowing a 9th inning solo homer.

Team record: 20-9. Next up: An off-day then we return home for 3 vs Toronto.
