Game 1: Greg Bookhart's roll continued as the Rays trounced Toronto 7-1 in the series opener at Publix Park. The lefty improved to 16-1 after a fine 6 5 1 1 1 6 performance, his 7th straight start in which he's allowed two runs or fewer. Support came from Kevin Crater, who blasted two more Crater Taters and drove in 5 to give him 29 and Mario Saro chipped in with a 2-run shot of his own (#16).

Game 2: The only promised land Ben Moses delivered anyone to was home plate for Toronto batters but the Rays pulled off another of their patented Publix Park comebacks to overcome Moses' bad outing and win 11-10 in 11 innings on a Jose Castillo walkoff homer, his 22nd of the year and second of the game. Moses was brutal at 4.1 10 8 8 0 1 and Tampa Bay found itself behind 10-4 in the 7th but didn't stop hitting. Seth Williams hit his second homer of the game (#14) in the bottom of the 8th to tie it at 10 while Juan Davila homered (#3) and drove in a pair. Satoshi Sato (3-6) picked up the win in relief.

Game 3: The Rays completed the sweep with a 3-run 8th to break a 6-6 tie and take a 9-6 win over the Jays. Seth Williams' sac fly was the tie-breaker as he was 2-4 with 2 RBI, Doug Johns drove in 3 with a 2-run HR (#26) and a single to give him 99 and Juan Davila (#4) homered for the second straight day and knocked in a pair. Bob Riley has hit a wall of late and was 7 10 5 5 0 5 but could have been the winner had Abelaldo Gray not given up the tying run in the 8th. Instead Gray (6-0) vultured the win and Satoshi Sato picked up his 6th save to go with 6 blown saves and 6 losses.

Team record: 85-30. Next up: An off-day then we make the longest road trip by distance in the majors by shipping off to Seattle for 3.
