Game 1: The Rays played their first road game of the season and stayed perfect at 11-0 thanks to a 6-5 win at Boston in 14 innings after blowing a 4-run lead in the 9th. Luis Barela's 4th homer of the young season won it for Tony Pasillas (2-0), who went 2 2/3 scoreless. Mel Mejia recorded the final out for his first save. They had built a 5-1 lead on 2 RBIs from Doug Johns (including HR #2) and Dave Frick and a fine Greg Bookhart start (7 6 1 1 1 2). But Abelaldo Gray, sent in to protect a 4-run lead in the 9th, gave up a grand slam to former Ray Randy Rappaport which sent us to extras.

Game 2: It finally happened - the Rays tasted defeat for the first time in 2048 but not without a fight as they fell 6-4 to the Red Sox. It was a 1-1 game into the 7th thanks to a fine Bob Riley outing (6 4 1 1 0 3) and a Mario Saro solo shot (#6) but Dan Anderson coughed up 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th to put them behind 4-1. But as they've done so often this season they've fought back and Jose Castillo launched a 3-run homer (#4) in the top of the 8th to tie it back up. With most of the "A" bullpen tired from yesterday's 14-inning game Mel Mejia (0-1) got the ball in the 8th and unfortunately gave up 2 runs to lose it.

Game 3: The Rays bounced back from their lone defeat of the season to rout the Red Sox 9-3 and take the series. Luis Barela had a monster game, going 4-5 with a double, HR #5 (a 3-run shot) and 4 RBI in total while Chris Parham, off to a torrid start, was 2-4 with 2 RBI against his former club. Mario Saro chipped in with 3 hits and an RBI. Melvin Delgado started but had to leave in the 2nd with a sprained ankle which will sideline him for 3-4 weeks. Chris O'Brien (2-0), who will take his rotation spot, came on in long relief and got the win despite a pedestrian 4.1 6 3 3 2 0 outing, and Satoshi Sato went the final two innings, fanning all six men he faced and earning his 1st save as it was 6-3 when he came on in the 8th.

Team record: 12-1. Next up: An off-day then the road trip continues with 3 in Toronto.
