Game 1: 3-4 L (11). LP-Fairbanks (1-1). Starter-McClanahan (3 5 3 3 3 4). HR-Franco (7), Albies (4). Rays came back from 3-0 down but after Franco and Albies homered to tie it in the 3rd they couldn't get anything going on offense after that, managing only 5 hits through 11 innings and Boston broke through against Fairbanks in the 11th largely due to his own error.

Game 2: 4-1 W. WP-Castillo (3-2, 7 7 0 0 0 9). HR-Torkelson (2/6). Luis Castillo pitched his best game of the season and Tork drove in 3 with a 2-run single and solo homer to supply Castillo's support.

Game 3: 8-4 W. WP-Rasmussen (1-3, 5 5 2 2 2 5). HR-Torkelson 2 (4/8). Tork was at it again, going 3-5 with a double, 2 homers and 2 RBI while Wander was 3-5 with 3 RBI.

Team record: 12-11, 1 1/2 behind New York. Next up: An off-day then 3 big early season games at Yankee Stadium.
