Game 1: The Rays suffered a rare offensive outage at Publix Park as Toronto's Angel Roig and a reliever shut them out on three hits in a 6-0 loss to the Jays. Bob Riley (10-4) didn't have it today, going 5 8 5 5 2 5.

July 11: Activated P Joel Byers, optioned OF Steve Emerson to AAA Durham.

There wasn't room on the staff for Byers, acquired last week in trade, so we created some by making him our 15th pitcher. We don't need 15 pitchers (heck we probably didn't need 14), but we weren't going to waive him or someone else on the staff to make room.

Game 2: You can't keep a good offense down for long and Toronto learned that today as the Rays took out their frustration of yesterday by routing the Jays 11-1. Doug Johns took over the MLB lead in RBI by driving in six today on a bases-clearing double, a 2-run double and an RBI single. Vinny Rodriguez added a 2-run circuit clout (#11) as did Akio Suzuki (#4). Melvin Delgado shut down his former team and improved to 7-4 thanks to a fine 7 8 1 1 2 3 outing. Joel Byers made his Rays debut by finishing up with two scoreless innings.

Game 3: The Rays took the finale and the series in dramatic fashion, edging Toronto 4-3 in 13 innings on walk-off walk to newly-named All-Star Chris Parham after Dave Frick hit a clutch 2-out homer (#6) in the bottom of the 9th to tie it up. Before then all the scoring came in the first two innings with the teams trading a pair of runs in the first and Toronto going ahead in the 2nd off Dave Rose, who settled down and finished 6 7 3 3 1 4. Tony Pasillas, the Rays' 7th pitcher of the day, went to 4-0 with the win after pitching the top of the 13th.

Team record: 66-25. Next up: The All-Star break, which isn't much of a break for the Rays considering virtually their starting lineup is in the game (more on that in the next post). Luis Barela and Doug Johns have been selected to participate in the Home Run Derby as well. We'll return to action on the Thursday with a 4-game series in Baltimore.
