Game 1: The Rays blasted a couple of early homers and took a 4-0 lead then held on for a 4-3 win over the Jays at Rogers Centre in their series opener. Doug Johns' 3-run shot (#25) in the 1st and a solo homer from Luis Barela (#24) supplied the offense and Jim Brophy was in fine form again, shutting out Toronto until the 7th when he left with two men on. Chris Winkler was given a high-leverage opportunity replacing Brophy, but immediately surrendered a 3-run homer to get the Jays back in it. Brophy (15-7) finished 6.1 3 2 2 4 3 and the pen held from there with Willie Minier getting save #28 with a 1-2-3 two-whiff 9th.

Game 2: Ben Moses was in fine form and the Rays clinched their 25th consecutive AL East division title with a 4-2 win over the Jays. Moses (12-7) went 6 3 1 1 2 6 and Willie Minier recorded save #29 but this one was shakier as he allowed a run on 3 hits. Dan Gregory was 4-4 with 3 doubles and an RBI, Yuji Morioka went 2-3 with a triple and 2 RBI and Jose Castillo belted homer #26.

Game 3: The Rays swept the series from Toronto with a 2-0 win behind Gordie Ager, seriously crippling the Jays' wild card hopes. Ager was brilliant today (some would say in Cy Young form) at 7 5 0 0 0 8. With Willie Minier having gone the last two days, Josh Grote finished up, getting out of the 8th on 2 pitches and pitching around a couple of hits in the 9th for his first Rays save. RBI doubles from Alex Duran in the 2nd and Jose Castillo in the 9th accounted for the scoring as the Rays emptied the bench today after yesterday's division clinch. Vinnie Rodriguez had his first MLB hit, a single.

Team record: 99-40. Next up: An off-day then Baltimore visits Publix Park for 3 games. The Orioles are the league's hottest team having won 10 straight but are still way out of the playoff picture.
