Game 1: Bob Riley pitched his best game in a while and the Rays took a 3-1 win at Texas in their opener at Globe Life Park but they suffered yet another season-ending injury to another key player as MVP candidate Kevin Crater strained his ACL. This is simply becoming ridiculous now and at this rate we'll be in the playoffs with Durham's lineup. As for the game Riley (13-6) went 7 5 1 1 0 5 and Willie Minier closed for save #29. Alex Duran supplied the offense with a pair of solo homers, giving him 13 for the year.

Game 2: The Rays overcame a 6-0 deficit after 2 innings but still succumbed to Texas 10-9. Melvin Delgado (5-3) was downright terrible (4 12 9 8 1 0) and that meant a good day from the offense was wasted. Juan Davila had a grand slam (#10), Nelson Bocardo also drove in 4 with a bases-clearing double and a single and Seth Williams added a solo shot (#18).

Game 3: The Rays and Rangers went twice the distance today as they played 18 innings. Of course if you're going to play 18 you might as well win and that's what the Rays did 6-5 on a Jose Castillo (one of the few regulars still ambulatory) RBI single. We fashioned a very makeshift lineup today trying to keep any more regulars from getting hurt, and Vinny Rodriguez had 4 hits (in 9 AB) while Steve Moore had 3 (in 7). Gordie Ager turned in a good start (6.2 5 2 2 3 3) and Dan Anderson (4-3) picked up the win with two perfect innings of relief.

Team record: 105-42. Next up: 3 games in Anaheim against the Angels.
