Game 1: The Rays mounted an impressive comeback but ended up losing anyway, 10-9 in 10 innings to the Yankees on a walk-off homer. Dave Rose's inconsistency reared its ugly head again and he was hit hard to the tune of 3.1 10 7 7 2 5 and the Rays were down 7-4. They trailed 9-6 going into the 9th when Doug Johns hit a dramatic 3-run homer (#12) but Steve Falcon (0-2) surrendered a game-ending homer in the 10th to take the loss. As a result they wasted a massive game from Luis Barela, 4-5 with a double, homer (#11) and 3 RBI as well as Yuji Morioka's 8th longball of the season.

Game 2: Tampa Bay turned in its worst performance of the year as they were shellacked 16-2 by the Yankees and suffered their first 3-game losing streak of the year. Caleb Ramos's days in the rotation are done after another brutal outing (3 8 7 7 2 1 with 2 homers) which dropped him to 2-2, 7.51. Melvin Delgado is coming back from his rehab assignment and will Ramos's place. Brad Mabe gave up 5 runs in an inning after taking over for Ramos and he's off to Durham.

May 17: Optioned P Brad Mabe to AAA Durham, recalled P Josh MacDonald from AAA Durham.

A fresh arm keeping the roster spot warm for Melvin Delgado.

Game 3: The Rays snapped out of their mini-funk with a 10-4 rout of the Yankees in New York. They hit four homers in a 7-run 2nd, including back-to-back-to-back blasts from Jose Castillo (#8), Luis Barela (#12) and Doug Johns (#13) after Yuji Morioka (#9) had gone deep earlier in the inning. Nelson Bocardo added a 2-run shot (#2) in the 3rd for good measure and Castillo ended with 4 RBI on the day. Greg Bookhart (4-1) coasted with the support but ran up a pitch count at 5 4 1 1 4 6 and after Josh MacDonald gave up 3 runs in an inning, Tony Pasillas earned his first Rays save with 3 scoreless frames.

Team record: 31-10. Next up: We fly cross-country to play 3 in Seattle.
