The Rays Meat Loafed Atlanta, but of course the Yankees did the same so it's still second place on percentage points for the good guys.

Tampa Bay only had 5 hits in the opener but managed to score 6 runs on them thanks to a trio of homers and handled Atlanta 6-2. Two of those three longballs came off the bat of Kelly Crumpton, who was 3-4 on the day and now has 14 dingers. And we had a donger from Dong-hwan Kim (#7) with a man on right before Crumpton's first as part of a 4-run 2nd. Wes Mendes (4-2) took care of business on the mound, going 6 1 0 0 4 7 as he's done a 180 on his season having allowed only 4 runs over his last 4 starts after a horrendous April.

While Mendes has turned things around, he must have body-swapped with Michael Prosecky, who had a brilliant April but has suffered a monstrous May after getting hit in a 7-3 loss. A key Kelly Crumpton error meant 3 of the 4 runs Prosecky (3-4) allowed in the 2nd were unearned but it's mostly the lefty's fault as he went 4.2 8 4 1 2 7 although the whiffs were a season-high. Cristian Hernandez was the bright spot on offense, going 2-3 with HR #7.

Just as in the opener the Rays made the most of managing only 5 hits as again three of them were homers, all of the solo variety in a 3-1 win. Arturo Gutierrez led off the game with #11 while Dong-hwan Kim (#8) and Nate Strickland (#4) went yard in the 4th. That was enough for Christian Little (3-2), who went 5 5 1 1 1 6 and four relievers, the last of whom was Josh Scanlon, nabbing save #16.

Team record: 32-13. Next up: Toronto visits for 2 games.
