Game 1: 9-8 W. WP-Castillo (5-3, 6 7 4 4 1 5). S-Fairbanks (12). HR-J.Jackson (1), Torkelson (14), N.Santana (4). A wild one with Natanael Santana's 3-run homer in the 7th breaking a 4-4 tie and putting the Rays ahead to stay. Tork was 4-5 with the HR and 2 RBI and Wander was 3-5 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI.

Transaction: Activated 2B Ozzie Albies from his rehab assignment and returned IF Junior Caminero to Durham.

Game 2: 11-0 W. WP-Sears (1-0). Starter-Swanda (0.1 1 0 0 0 1). HR-Torkelson (15), Franco (16), Albies (5). As you can see Swanda had to leave in the first with a dead arm and will be out 2 weeks, but all the bullpen did was combine for a 5-hit shutout with Sears going 2 2/3 for the win and Sandy Gaston going 3 scoreless with 6 whiffs. It was only a 3-0 game through 6 before they broke it open with Albies returning big from the IL going 2-5 with the HR & 4 RBI while Wander was 2-4 with his HR and 2 RBI.

Transaction: Swanda goes on the IL and Yoniel Curet is called up from Durham. The rookie has good stuff but iffy control but is on the 40-man. When we next need a starter Brian Gonzalez will likely get the call or we could go with Sears or Gaston.

Game 3: 3-1 W. WP-Ruegger (4-1). S-Fairbanks (14). Starter-Orze (4 2 1 0 1 3). HR-Mears (4), Mead (8). Rays were being dominated by Minnesota's Kyle Muller who shut them out through 7 before Mears homered off him in the 8th to tie it and Wander singled in another run later in the inning before Mead homered for insurance in the 9th. Fairbanks now has 3 saves since I said he was out of the closer's role; funny how things work out sometimes.

Team record: 36-18. Toronto lost twice and have been overtaken by the Yankees who sit in second 4 1/2 behind us. Next up: A day off then 3 in Detroit.

MLB News: Former Ray and current Padre Jonathan Loaisiga is done for the year and much of next with a torn UCL, right after he was named NL Pitcher of the Month for May, going 5-0, 2.30. The AL nod went to Texas reliever Carlos Vargas who had 9 saves and 28 whiffs in 16 IP. AL Player of the Month was Seattle's Julio Rodriguez (.387-11-27) and the NL winner was Colorado's Zac Veen (.324-8-26).
