Game 1: Monday's game was rained out so we played a doubleheader on Tuesday and the Rays took the opener 11-3. Mario Saro was 3-4 with a 2-run homer (#4), Nelson Bocardo drove in 3 with a pair of singles, and Alex Duran and Chris Kidd each knocked in a pair to pace the attack. Greg Bookhart won his first decision of the season after going 6 7 3 3 1 5 in a more typical Publix Park game.

Game 2: The Rays swept the doubleheader with another rout, winning 9-4 behind homers from three bench players. A 5-run 5th broke it open with the big hit a 3-run shot from reserve catcher Alvaro Alejandre (#1) and also going deep for the first time this year were Ruben Ramirez and Beau Bonczek, his first homer in a Rays uniform. Bonczek added an RBI double and an RBI single as well to go with his solo homer and he backed an excellent outing from Bob Riley (1-0) who went 8 8 2 1 0 4.

April 13: Released P Noel Kimble.

He cleared waivers but refused a demotion to Durham so bye-bye.

Game 3: Tampa Bay completed the sweep and made it 5 straight wins to finally get above .500 in 2050 with a 6-1 win over the Orioles. Melvin Delgado hurled a 92-pitch complete game, improving to 2-1 with a 9 7 1 1 1 2 performance, giving him an odd 7/4 BB/K ratio in 20 1/3 IP. Luis Barela (#6, solo) and Mario Saro (#5, a 2-run shot) had the big hits and Barela added an RBI single to support Delgado.

Team record: 7-6. Next up: An off-day then we hit the road for 3 in Cleveland.
