Game 1: Not the greatest day for the Rays as they fell 6-2 to the Jays and lost IF Yuji Morioka to a fractured shoulder blade for a month. Bob Riley's the kind of pitcher who relies on his defense and a key Juan Davila error led to four unearned runs as the lefty dropped to 12-4 after a 6 8 5 1 1 3 outing. Doug Johns' 24th homer was the team's highlight for the day.

July 27: Placed IF Yuji Morioka on the 10-day IL with a fractured shoulder blade, recalled IF Ed Herrera from AA Montgomery.

Herrera's been one of our better prospects the last couple of years, spending some time in the BNN Top 100 last year before dropping out. He's a slick fielder and has good power but is very iffy in the contact department. He'll start at SS until Dave Frick returns as Morioka had slid over there to fill in for Frick.

Game 2: The bats came back to life and the Rays came back as well to beat the Jays 8-6 with a 3-run 8th inning. Alex Duran came off the bench to deliver an RBI single to tie it and Jose Castillo's 2-run single proved the difference and capped a 3-RBI day for him. Kevin Crater was 3-5 with a 2-run HR (#25). Dave Rose started but once again ran out of gas in the 5th as he had only allowed 1 run through 4 but finished 4.1 6 6 6 2 1. Jose Morales (1-1) got the final out in the 7th to become pitcher of record and Willie Minier finished up for save #21.

July 28: Activated P Satoshi Sato from the 10-day IL, optioned P Brad Mabe to AAA Durham.

Game 3: It's almost the end of July and Rays ace Gordie Ager still doesn't have it figured out as they fell 7-2 to Toronto today. The lefty was 5 10 6 6 1 7 and dropped to 12-5, 5.43. The reigning AL Cy Young winner has been a victim of bad BABIP luck but also the architect of his own downfall with 21 homers allowed in 119 IP. The BB/K numbers (25/114) are still encouraging so hopefully he'll get some positive regression in the BABIP and HR numbers but I've been saying that for a while now. Today's bright spot: Luis Barela's 2-run homer, his 27th of the season and more importantly the 300th of his illustrious career.

Team record: 79-28. Next up: An off-day then we travel to Boston for three games. The trade deadline's just about here but I'm not anticipating any moves even though we can use a starter.
