May 8: Placed OF Jared Richardson on the 10-day IL with an abdominal strain, recalled OF/P Josh Schwartzlow from AAA Durham.

Richardson suffered the injury in the Toronto finale after doubling in a run. Schwartzlow is back up after a brief stint with us last year.

Game 1: Another game in which we outscored our pitching problems, scoring 9 times in the 7th and 8th to turn a potential 6-2 loss into an actual 11-6 win over Atlanta at Publix Park. Doug Johns' 3-run homer in the 7th (#5) tied it up and Luis Barela went back-to-back with him (#6) to provide the winning run. Dave Frick was 3-5 with a bases-clearing double in the 8th and Seth Williams capped a 3-hit day with a solo homer (#4) in the same inning to make the rubble bounce. Ben Moses struggled again, going 6 9 5 4 2 3 and the win went to Sean Forbes (1-0), who can't stop giving up homers as he allowed a solo shot in the 7th, his 3rd in 7 innings this year.

Game 2: For a change we got a well-pitched game and it came from an unlikely source as Marc Gibson was solid in a 3-2 win. Gibson, who came in with an ERA near 6 despite a 5-0 record, went 5.1 4 2 2 1 2 but ironically didn't get the win this time when Chris O'Brien allowed one of his runners to score to tie the game at 2. The Rays mounted a rally in the bottom of the 7th which culminated with a wild pitch bringing home Nelson Bocardo for the winner. Dan Anderson (2-0) picked up the win and Willie Minier nailed down save #8. Bocardo had knocked in the first two Rays run with a double. Despite the win there was some bad news though as Anderson had to leave with what was diagnosed as an arthritic elbow and is essentially done for the year (he could return mid-October in the playoffs). He's been a glue guy in the pen the last 5 years serving as a bridge to the late innings and he'll be missed.

Team record: 24-10. Next up: Another off-day then we cram 4 games into 3 days in Baltimore with a scheduled doubleheader.
