Game 1: Greg Bookhart went to 3-0 with an excellent performance and the Rays took a 5-1 win over the Angels in the opener at Publix Park. Bookhart went 6 7 1 1 0 4 and he was supported by Luis Barela, who drew a bases-loaded walk in the 3rd to put the Rays in front to stay and then added a 2-run homer (#3).

Game 2: Alex Duran to the rescue as his 3-run 8th-inning homer (#2) turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 Rays win. Solo homers from Chris Parham (#2) and Ruben Ramirez (#4) brought the Rays back from 2-0, but LA went ahead in the 7th. Dave Rose went 5.1 8 2 2 1 4, and although Angel Roig (3-0) gave up the go-ahead run, he got the win after going 2 2/3 with 6 whiffs with Steve Falcon handling the 9th for his 4th save.

Game 3: Chad Gardner couldn't keep the ball in the park and the Rays dropped the finale to the Angels 9-5. The righty, who had pitched very well this season coming into today, was blasted for four homers in a 5.2 7 8 8 0 2 outing that dropped him to 2-1. They did get homers from Jon Morales (#5), Alex Duran (#3) and Juan Davila (#7). Davila is off to a scorching start, hitting 410/511/795 after going 3-3 today, with the batting average and his 1.8 WAR leading in the AL.

Team record: 14-9. Baltimore dropped 2 of 3 over the weekend so we're in sole possession of first by a game. Next up: Time to hit the road with 3 in Oakland kicking off a 9-game road trip.
