Game 1: The Rays got their best start of the year from Caleb Ramos and took a 5-1 over Boston at Fenway Park in the series opener. Ramos (7-3) was 6 4 1 1 1 4 and really rolled after allowing a 1st-inning run. Chris O'Brien went the final 3 innings allowing only a single for his 2nd save. Alex Duran's 2-run double in the 3rd broke a 1-1 tie and they also got homers from Kevin Crater (#20) and Mario Saro (#5).

Game 2: A seesaw affair saw the Rays beat Boston again 7-4 in 10 innings in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. They were up 3-0 behind Greg Bookhart before the Red Sox stormed back to take a 4-3 lead, only to tie it in the 8th and win it in the 10th. Luis Barela had a massive game with his 3-run homer (#16) in the 6th breaking open a scoreless game and his 2-run single capping the 3-run 10th. Jose Castillo tied it in the 8th with a single and Kevin Crater's RBI double brought home the winning run in the 10th. Bookhart finished 6.2 7 4 4 1 3 but stayed undefeated after the comeback. Willie Minier (2-2) got the win and Satoshi Sato struck out the side in the bottom of the 10th for save #3.

Game 3: I forgot we had a doubleheader so I accidentally simmed the second game and of course Boston won it 4-2. The AI started Ben Moses on short rest and he went 4 6 2 2 1 3, not bad considering and Dave Rose (2-2) took the loss allowing a pair of solo homers in middle relief. Doug Johns drove in both Rays runs with a double and a bases-loaded HBP.

Game 4: The Red Sox salvaged a split by essentially turning the tables from Game 2, winning 7-6 in 10 innings after tying it up late. Rookie prospect Chris Krisik was brought up from Durham for his MLB debut (he should have pitched yesterday's second game) and wasn't that great at 4 6 5 5 2 3 with a homer allowed, but he did leave with a 6-5 lead. Boston got a run off Dan Anderson in the 7th, and after a clean 9th Satoshi Sato (1-3) gave up a single to a lefty leading off the 10th and that man came around to score off Willie Minier to let the Sox walk it off. The Rays got a pair of solo Crater Taters giving Kevin 22 on the year and Seth Williams had a 2-run triple to highlight the offense.

Team record: 46-18. Next up: Back to Publix Park for 3 against Oakland.
