Game 1: 7-9 L (12). LP-German (3-2). Starter-Swanda (4.1 5 1 0 2 1). HR-Santana (10), Mead (16). Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the opposition and tonight was one of those times as former Ray Juan Soto hit a 3-run homer off Fairbanks in the bottom of the 10th to keep the Yanks alive and then blasted a 2-run homer in the 12th to win it. It looked like the Rays had it won for the second time (they also blew a 4-2 lead in the 8th) when Tork singled in a run and Mead hit a 2-run homer in the top of the 10th but then Soto struck.

Game 2: 5-4 W. WP-Bradley (4-3). S-Moran (2). HR-Torkelson (22), Wood (12). Starter-Orze (5 7 3 3 1 4). The Rays turned the tables on New York, coming back in the 7th on Tork's homer to tie it and Wood's 2-run shot, capping a 3-hit day for him, to provide the winning margin.

Game 3: 2-5 L. LP-Ruegger (4-4). Starter-Gonzalez (5.2 3 0 0 1 5). Another blown game as Gau gave up a 2-run homer in the 7th to tie it and Ruegger allowed a 3-run walk-off blast in the bottom of the 9th, wasting a great start from Brian Gonzalez. Mead drove in both Rays runs with a pair of singles.

Team record: 64-36. Toronto also dropped 2 of 3 so the division lead remains 9 over the Jays and now also the Yankees. Next up: Home for 3 against the White Sox.
