Game 1: Toronto's Angel Roig and two relievers shut the Rays down at Publix Park in the opener of a 3-game set 4-1. Tampa Bay was held to only 3 hits while Marc Gibson (8-2) went 5.2 6 4 4 3 6 for a rare loss. Caleb Ramos threw 3 1/3 shutout innings in relief for the day's lone bright spot.

Game 2: It was looking like a repeat of yesterday as Jays pitching once again squelched the Rays' bats and Toronto took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the 9th. But they loaded the bases and Mario Saro stepped up and hit a dramatic two-out grand slam (#13) to give the Rays an unlikely walk-off win. Saro had hit a sac fly for their previous run in the 8th and finished with all 5 RBI. Gordie Ager kept them in the game, recovering from a rough 3rd in which the Jays scored all their runs and finished 7 8 3 3 0 4. Josh Grote (2-0) held Toronto scoreless over the final 2 innings and picked up the win.

Game 3: The finale was a lot like the first two games in that the Rays offense was unusually muted at Publix Park and were shut out again until the 9th. But this time the comeback fell short as Doug Johns' 3-run homer (#14) in the final frame wasn't enough and Toronto took the series with a 4-3 win. Jim Brophy (5-5) wasn't great but hung in there at 6.2 6 4 4 3 1 after giving up all 4 runs in the first 3 innings.

Team record: 46-21. Next up: Off to New York to play 4 against the Yankees.
