Game 1: A rough welcome to Cincinnati for the Rays as they were routed 11-0 by the Reds. Greg Bookhart (5-1) lost for the first time in 2050, getting roughed up to the tune of 3.1 8 7 7 1 5 with a couple of homers allowed while the bats only managed five hits.

Game 2: The Rays got back in the win column but not after squandering a 7-3 lead in taking an 8-7 win at Cincinnati. They built that 7-3 lead on a remarkable night from Ruben Ramirez, who homered his first three times up, driving in 4 and giving him 12 homers on the season. Dave Rose started and went 6 6 6 6 3 9, looking like he had settled in after allowing 3 in the first before giving up a pair in the 6th and putting the leadoff man on who scored in the 7th. But Jon Morales, who had earlier singled in a run, broke the deadlock in the 9th with a solo shot (#21) and made a winner for the first time in Rays colors of Steve Ravin, who had a scoreless 8th after giving up the tying hit in the 7th. Steve Talbott had an uneventful 9th for save #18.

Game 3: Rex Bransington won his first Rays start last week but was more of a passenger in a 10-3 win. Tonight though he was the driver, pitching six dominant innings in a 6-1 over Cincinnati to take the series. The lefty was 6 3 1 1 0 10 to make it two wins in two Tampa Bay starts and was supported by a trio of hits: 2-run doubles from Mario Saro and Jon Morales and a 2-run homer from Luis Barela, his MLB-leading 35th (nobody else has more than 30).

Team record: 66-44. The Yankees lost two of three in Pittsburgh so the Rays are as close as they've been in a long time, only 4 1/2 out. Next up: An off-day then the road trip continues with 3 in Toronto.
