Game 1: Bob Riley was on the beam again and the Rays opened their series against Oakland at Publix Park with a 4-1 win. The lefty improved to 8-2, 2.75 after a 7 5 1 1 1 4 outing, and with the main bullpen tired Jose Morales picked up his 1st save as a Ray in four years. Doug Johns was 3-4 with a double and solo homer (#10) and Nelson Bocardo was 2-4 with a double and an RBI.

Game 2: The Rays handled Oakland easily in the second game 10-4. A 7-run explosion in the 4th and 5th broke the game open with Luis Barela leading the way, going 2-5 with a 2-run single and RBI double. Seth Williams tripled and drove in a pair and Nelson Bocardo had a key 2-run double in the outburst. Gordie Ager (8-2) pitched well until putting a couple on in the 7th and giving up a 3-run homer, briefly allowing Oakland back within 7-4. Ager finished 6.1 4 4 4 0 5 and allowed two more homers, a continuing problem with him this year. Mel Mejia put out the fire in the 7th and stayed on the rest of the way to earn his first save of 2047.

Game 3: The Rays completed the sweep with a stirring 9th-inning comeback to walk it off 4-3. Trailing 3-2 going into the final frame, they strung together 5 consecutive singles to start the inning with Dave Frick's driving in the tying run and Tomas Laboy coming off the bench to deliver the game-winner. Earlier Mario Saro went deep with the bases empty, his 6th. Caleb Ramos gave them a lousy start (4.1 4 3 3 4 3) but the bullpen was brilliant with Chris O'Brien going 2 2/3 scoreless and Dan Anderson (2-1) picking up the win after pitching the 9th.

Team record: 49-18. Next up: The Angels come to town for 4 games.
