To whatever extent the Yankees could have made it a division race again they failed to do so as the Rays took 3 of 4 games in the series and now lead by 10 games with six weeks left in the season.

The Rays got a strong start from Shane Panzini and took the opener from New York 3-2. Panzini (7-8) was a sterling 7 4 1 1 1 4 and despite allowing a couple of more hits in the 9th Kevin DiCostanzo secured his 27th save. Corey Collins and Ed Howard were the heroes on offense with each banging out 3 hits including Collins' key RBI triple.

The Yankees came back on the Rays' bullpen, handing Tampa Bay a 4-3 loss in 10 innings. Rookie sensation Sergio Gujarado was the star for New York, tying the game in the 9th with a homer off Dax Fulton and then winning it in the 10th with an RBI single off Wennington Romero, scoring Kevin DiCostanzo's runner and dropping the rookie closer to 5-4. Michael Prosecky started and went 4.1 7 2 2 2 3 and Ed Howard had the Rays' offensive highlight with a 2-run homer (#15).

The Rays bounced back from the previous night's tough loss to rout the Yankees 7-1, scoring six times in the first three innings. Johnny Kuykendall was in fine form, improving to 3-0, 1.85 as a Ray after going 7.1 7 1 1 0 7. Wander Franco's 3-run homer (#14) in the 2nd broke the game open and Chris Gutierrez had a big day, going 3-4 with 2 RBI including a solo homer (#5).

Tampa Bay finished out the series with a 5-1 win behind a typically strong effort from James Hays. The reigning 3-time Cy Young winner upped his record to 14-3 with a 6 6 1 1 1 9 outing and earned the win thanks to Kelly Crumpton's RBI single in the 6th which broke a 1-1 deadlock. The Rays opened up the game with 3 runs in the 8th including a 2-run Andrew Greckel shot (#22).

Team record: 81-43. Next up: Boston visits for 3 games.
