Game 1: The Rays put 5 runs on the board in 2nd which was enough by itself to give them a 9-4 win over Seattle in the series opener at Publix Park. And what was more impressive is that they scored all those runs with a makeshift lineup as today's stars were seldom-used CF Steve Emerson and C Kurt Ferguson. Emerson was 2-3 with a pair of 2-run doubles and Ferguson was 3-3 with a pair of doubles including one which brought home two. Juan Davila stayed red-hot with a 2-run double of his own among his two hits and Melvin Delgado (6-3) ended his personal 3-game losing streak with a fine 6 3 2 2 3 8 start.

Game 2: The Rays rode another 5-run inning today, breaking open a 3-2 game and mauling the Mariners 11-3. Doug Johns had a big day, going 4-5 with a solo homer (#26) and an RBI double, while Akio Suzuki clubbed a 3-run homer (#2) and Jose Castillo added a 2-run shot (#18). Dave Rose went to 8-1 with a 5 7 2 2 3 9 outing.

Game 3: Tampa Bay completed the sweep but had to work harder for this one as they edged Seattle 5-4 in 11 innings on Jose Castillo's walk-off homer, #19. Dave Frick's 5th longball of the year gave them a 4-3 lead in the 7th but Jose Carrasco surrendered a tying dinger in the 8th, sending us to extras. Dan Anderson, who's struggled quite a bit this year, managed a scoreless 11th to win his first decision of the year. Chris O'Brien was adequate at 5 6 3 3 2 5 with the start.

Team record: 61-21. We've hit the halfway mark of the season so the next post will be a midseason review. Next up: A day off then Baltimore comes in for three.
