Game 1: Monday's game was rained out so we played a Tuesday doubleheader and the Rays took the matinee game 6-5, having to come back after blowing a 4-2 lead in the 7th. They loaded the bases in the bottom of the 7th and consecutive sac flies from Tomas Laboy and Juan Davila brought home the tying and winning runs. Earlier Luis Barela staked them to the 4-2 lead with a 3-run homer, his 40th of the season, and Greg Bookhart was going well through 6 before putting a couple men on. Jose Carrasco let them score along with one of his own and ended up vulturing the win with Steve Falcon getting save #25. Bookhart finished 6 7 4 4 1 6 and deserved better.

Game 2: The Rays completed the doubleheader sweep with an emphatic 7-1 win over the Jays behind a great game from Bob Riley and another big Luis Barela hit. Riley (12-7) was in command throughout and probably could have gone the distance, finishing 8 4 1 1 1 4 on 89 pitches. Jose Castillo's 2-run HR (#25) put them ahead for good and Barela cleared the bases with a double, giving him 6 RBI on the day.

Game 3: Tampa Bay dropped the finale 8-5 thanks to a rough outing from Melvin Delgado and some poor defense behind him. He (8-8) gave up 4 runs in the 4th to let Toronto pull away, all unearned thanks to a Luis Barela error and he finished 5 5 6 2 3 2. Delgado then left with a strained back and will miss a couple of weeks. The Rays did make a game of it thanks to solo homers from Yuji Morioka (#12), Alex Duran (#8) and Vinny Rodriguez (#14), and brought the tying run to the plate in the 9th but couldn't complete the comeback.

Team record: 88-40. The magic number is down to 11. Next up: An off-day then we head to Austin for 3 against the Dukes.
