Game 1: The Rays were up 10-0 by the 2nd inning on their way to a 15-4 rout of the Angels in the opener of their 4-game series in Anaheim. Doug Johns' 2-run homer in the first (#7) got them going, Luis Barela and Tomas Laboy each doubled and drove in 3, and Mario Saro had a 2-run double in their 8-run 2nd. Jim Brophy (3-3) got the win after a pedestrian 5.1 6 3 3 3 1 outing.

Game 2: Tampa Bay hit double digits for the third straight game in another rout of the Angels 10-3. The irrepressible Dave Frick got them going early with a bases-clearing double, and Nelson Bocardo added the late runs on an RBI single and a 2-run homer (#3). Greg Bookhart (4-0) was solid on the mound at 6 7 2 2 1 1 and Tristan Goulet went the final 3 innings for his 1st save of the year.

Game 3: The Rays scored 10 or more for the fourth consecutive game and this time they had to in a wild 12-11 win. Mario Saro's 2-run homer in the 9th (#9) won it for them after they blew a 10-7 lead in the 8th, and that was after coming back from 5-0 down after the first inning. Doug Johns (#8, solo), Seth Williams (#7, with a man on) and Yuji Morioka (#8, a 3-run shot to put them up in the 8th) also went deep in the slugfest while Tony Cordova drove in 3 as well. Ben Moses had a nightmarish start, allowing those 5 first-inning runs and going 3 4 6 6 6 3, Sean Forbes once again showed he couldn't be trusted with a high-leverage situation by allowing 3 in the 8th, the last of which came on a homer Willie Minier allowed to blow the save. Minier stayed on in the 9th and vultured his 2nd win of the year but not without putting 2 more men on and making it an adventure.

Game 4: Tampa Bay's streak of double-digit scoring came to an end but their win streak didn't as it reached 5 with a 6-3 triumph to sweep the Angels. Marc Gibson went to 6-1 with a pretty good 6 6 3 1 2 3 outing and the bullpen excelled this time with Satoshi Sato fanning 3 in the 9th for save #6. A 4-run 3rd inning got them the win thanks to Seth Williams' RBI triple, a 2-run homer from Jose Castillo (#7) and a solo shot from Doug Johns (#9), his third homer in the series.

Team record: 32-13. Next up: An off-day to fly cross-country to Tampa where we'll host Boston for 3.
