April 22: Activated DH Jose Castillo from the 10-day IL, optioned OF Jeremy Williams to AAA Durham.

Game 1: After Detroit took a 4-0 lead in the 7th and the Rays stormed back with 4 in the bottom of the inning, it looked like a typical Tampa Bay comeback win was in the offing. But the Tigers struck back for 5 in the 8th and a last-ditch Rays rally wasn't enough in a 9-7 loss at Publix Park. Kevin Crater's 3-run shot (#8) and Yuji Morioka's solo blast (#2) tied it up but some really bad bullpen work in the 8th from Satoshi Sato (who allowed 5 runs without retiring a batter) and Dan Anderson (who let all 3 of Sato's runners he inherited score) doomed them. Ben Moses pitched well at 6 7 3 3 0 6 and the final two runs against him also were let in by a reliever (Abelaldo Gray). Alex Duran had a 2-run double in a 2-out, 3-run rally in the 9th which fell short. And even better news: Mario Saro had to leave with shoulder tendinitis and will be out 5-6 weeks.

April 23: Placed OF Mario Saro on the 10-day IL with shoulder tendinitis, purchased the contract of OF/P Josh Schwartzlow from AAA Durham.

The righty-hitting Schwartzlow will platoon with Alex Duran as they fill Saro's spot in the lineup.

Game 2: The Rays fell again, dominated by Detroit's Eric Rimbach in a 3-1 loss. The Tiger lefty went 8.2 2 0 0 0 10 and left one out short of a shutout with back spasms. Kevin Crater greeted the reliever with HR #9 but that was it for the offense. Bob Riley (3-1) suffered his first loss as a Ray, keeping them in it at 6.2 6 3 3 0 3.

Game 3: Tampa Bay suffered a rare series sweep at home after Detroit took a 4-3 win at Publix Park. Caleb Ramos was a little better today but not that much at 6 6 4 4 1 5, dropping him to 1-2 and lowering his ERA to 7.71. It was 4-1 Tigers before the Rays scored a run in the 8th and Tomas Laboy drilled a pinch-hit solo shot (#2) in the 9th to make it close.

Team record: 19-6, no longer the best record in MLB as the White Sox have gone to 20-5. Next up: A very rare two days off before playing a 2-game series on Saturday and Sunday at Fenway Park.
