Game 1: It was a rare low-scoring game at Publix Park as the Rays made it 12 wins in a row after downing the Orioles 4-2. Juan Viatoro's 2-run homer in the 4th (#4) put Tampa Bay ahead to stay, although Jimmy Bernal couldn't quite get through 5 to qualify for the win, going 4.2 5 2 2 03. Instead Steve Kay (2-0) earned it and Steve Talbott picked up save #5.

Game 2: Today was more like Publix Park as the teams played quite the rollercoaster game that saw the Rays nearly lose a 13-1 lead before hanging on to prevail 16-12. Juan Davila had a pair of homers to give him 9 and drove in 4, and Alex Duran (#4) and Dantel Chinchilla (#2) had 3-run homers to build that huge lead but Baltimore scored 11 times (!) in the 7th off Steve Ravin and Mel Mejia to cut it to 13-12. Jon Morales then picked a good time for his 1st homer of the year, a 2-run shot, and Beau Bonczek added #3 to give them some breathing room. Dave Rose (2-1) had by far his best start of the year at 6 2 1 1 0 9 as it was after he left all hell broke loose.

Game 3: More high drama as the Rays completed the sweep and extended the winning streak to 14 with a walk-off come-from-behind 8-7 win. They trailed 7-1 going into the bottom of the 8th when they scored 3 in the inning including Dantel Chinchilla's 2-run shot (#3) and then with the score 7-4 in the bottom of the 9th Jon Morales doubled in a run and then Luis Barela sent everyone except the Orioles home happy with a 3-run blast (#5). Barela made a winner of Willie Navarro (4-1) and saved Rex Bransington from a loss after a rough 4 7 5 5 0 5 outing. Morales earlier hit his 2nd homer of the year and second in as many days and was 4-5 with 2 stolen bases to go with the homer & 2 RBI.

Team record: 15-7. Did the Yankees lose? What do you think? The only thing that kept them from winning Sunday was a rainout so the Rays did pick up 1/2 game in the standings to move within 6. Next up: Boston visits for 3 games.
