April 16-18, 2049: at Boston (3)

Game 1: The Rays rolled into Fenway to face the Red Sox, off to a miserable 2-10 start, and let the hosts walk one off in the bottom of the 10th to lose 4-3. The winning blow came courtesy of a former Ray, Randy Rappaport, with a walk-off homer against Steve Morris (0-2). Getting the win for Boston was another former high Rays pick, Jonathan Melendez. Bob Riley was decent in a no-decision (6.1 8 3 3 1 4) and Yuji Morioka had a 2-run homer (#5) which sent us to extras.

Game 2: Melvin Delgado did not have it today and the Rays dropped another one to Boston 7-3. The righty dropped to 0-1 with a horrendous 2.2 7 7 7 3 3 outing. Juan Davila was 2-5 with an RBI triple for a rare Tampa Bay bright spot.

Game 3: Tomas Laboy's 2-run pinch-homer (#3) in the 8th inning enabled the Rays to avoid an ignominious sweep in Fenway as they took a 5-3 win in the finale. The blow made a winner of Mel Mejia (1-0), who was charge with a blown save in the 7th after giving up the game-tying hit. Steve Falcon closed it out for save #3 and Greg Bookhart turned in a decent 5.2 8 2 2 1 5. Mario Saro was 3-4 with a steal and an RBI double.

Team record: 10-6. Next up: We're back home for 4 vs Baltimore who is tied with us atop the AL East.
