Game 1: The Rays cooled off the red-hot Red Sox, winners of 9 of their last 10, with a 12-4 win at Fenway in the opener. Doug Johns, who's had a slow second half after a big first one, snapped out of it with a pair of 3-run homers to give him 32 on the season and put him at 101 RBI. Johns added a double and Mario Saro had a 2-RBI double as well. Chad Garner was decent at 7 6 4 4 1 3 to improve to 3-1 as a Ray.

Game 2: Tampa Bay came back from deficits of 3-0 and 4-3 to beat Boston again 9-4. It was the lower part of the order which did the damage today with Dave Frick going 3-5 with HR #10 and 3 RBI, and newly-recalled Tony Olivo driving 3 including a 2-run triple, while Tomas Laboy banged out 4 hits. Greg Bookhart improved to 14-5 after a shaky 5 6 4 4 2 4 outing.

Game 3: The Rays overcame a pair of blown saves by the bullpen to eventually beat Boston 9-8 in 11, sweep the series, and reduced their magic number to 1. Yuji Morioka's RBI single in the 11th decided it and made a winner of Steve Falcon (1-5), who had blown the save in the 9th by allowing a pair of runs. Mel Mejia finished up for save #4. Jose Castlilo drove in 3 while Vinny Rodriguez and Mario Sato each plated a pair. Melvin Delgado struggled in his return from the IL at 5 4 5 5 3 3 but Jose Carrasco allowing two of his runners to score didn't make the line any prettier.

Team record: 94-43. Next up: We return home for 3 vs the Yankees starting on Labor Day.
