Game 1: The Rays battled back from 3-0 down to tie Baltimore at 3 in the 7th inning of their opener, but immediately let the Orioles back in front in the bottom of the inning and fell 5-3 at Camden Yards. Bob Riley (11-7) reverted to struggling form, going 6 9 4 4 1 8 although the whiffs were a season high. Dave Frick was 2-4 with an RBI and Juan Davila had a solo shot (#6).

Game 2: Another loss for the Rays as they've really played mediocre baseball over the last month and a half, going 30-27 since the beginning of July after a blazing start to the season in the first half. Today's final was 12-3, as Melvin Delgado wasn't that great and the bullpen was even worse. Delgado (8-7) was 4.1 7 4 4 0 1 and Tony Pasillas set the tone for a bad bullpen day by giving up a 2-run homer with Delgado's man aboard to snap a 3-3 tie in the 5th. Then Joel Byers let it get away in the 7th, allowing 5 runs while only getting one man out and Caleb Ramos poured gasoline onto the fire, giving up a couple more.

Game 3: Dave Rose is making his claim to be the Rays' real ace of late and today he and four relievers combined on a 5-hit 3-0 shutout of Baltimore to salvage the finale. Rose (11-2) was 5.1 4 0 0 3 5 on 96 pitches to finally bring his ERA below 4 and more into line with his metrics. Steve Falcon, the fourth and final reliever, had a perfect 9th for save #22. All the Rays scoring came on homers with Mario Saro leading off the game with #24 and Nelson Bocardo hitting a 2-run blast in the 6th, #6 on the year.

Team record: 81-38. Next up: Back home for 3 vs Cleveland.
