Not the best of series for the Rays as they dropped 2 of 3 to the Mets at Tropicana Field. Combined with Baltimore taking 2 of 3 from Atlanta and the division lead is but a single game.

Transaction: Kendall Williams was recalled after completing his rehab assignment at AAA Durham and Cody Adcock was sent there.

Shane Panzini didn't have it in the opener and neither did the bats as the Rays fell 5-1 to the Mets. Panzini (3-2) departed early after going 2.1 6 4 4 3 1 and although the pen kept them in it, the bats never responded with the only run coming on a solo Kelly Crumpton shot (#10).

The Rays needed some late dramatics to take the second game when newcomer David Garcia's RBI double in the bottom of the 9th walked it off for a 3-2 win. The veteran catcher knocked in Dong-hwan Kim, who had a 1-out single against former Rays closer Yasunari Uehara and made a winner of Kevin DiCostanzo (3-1). John Swanda had a decent start for a change (5.2 2 2 2 3 4) and Raimfer Salinas hit his 2nd Rays homer, a solo shot in the 3rd and his 13th overall as one of his three hits.

The finale was a tough one as the Rays rallied to come back to tie after falling behind 4-0 only to give up some late runs as the Mets took the series with an 8-4 win. James Hays was scorched for 4 runs in the 2nd including a 3-run Trevor Story homer with two out, but settled in to go 6 5 4 4 1 9. Kelly Crumpton (#11) and Raimfer Salinas (#3/14) went back-to-back to cut the Met lead in half in the 5th and Willi Castro launched a 2-run jack (#2) in the 6th to tie it. But Mike Moore (1-3) put a man on with two out and Dax Fulton immediately gave up a 2-run homer to the lefty he was brought in to face, former Ray Hunter Bishop. The Mets tacked on two more in the 9th and that was all she wrote.

Team record: 26-19. Next up: Oakland visits for 3 games.
