Game 1: Juan Davila's 3-run homer (#25) in the bottom of the 8th pulled out a 4-2 win for the Rays over Cleveland at Publix Park in their return to action from the All-Star break. Davila had drawn a bases-loaded walk for the first Tampa Bay run and came through for the big blow with two out in the frame and the Rays one inning away from a 2-1 loss. Dave Rose was in good form (6 5 2 2 1 9) and Davila took him off the hook and made a winner of Jimmy Bernal (6-3) with Steve Talbott earning save #30.

Game 2: The Rays had an easier time of things in the second game, routing the Guardians 10-2. Although they didn't homer they banged out 15 hits led by David Morales going 3-4 with 3 RBI, Jon McGovern driving in 3 including a 2-run double, and Juan Davila adding 3 more hits and a ribbie. Rex Bransington (5-2) took a one-hitter into the 7th before putting a couple on who scored and finished 6.1 1 2 2 2 2.

Game 3: Tampa Bay completed the sweep with another easy win over Cleveland 8-1. It could have been a lot worse for the Guardians as the Rays had 20 hits and left 14 men on base. Luis Barela led the way on offense, going 3-4 with HR #31 and 3 RBI and also recording 3-hit days were Juan Davila, Juan Viatoro and David Morales. Chad Winger (10-4) was value for his win thanks to a 5 3 1 1 2 6 outing.

Team record: 69-25. The Yankees took 3 of 4 so the Rays add a 1/2 game to the division lead which is now 4 games. Next up: 3 games in Baltimore.
