Game 1: Can't remember the last time this club played in San Diego, but we haven't missed based on the opener as the Padres clubbed the Rays 7-0. The bats were held to four hits and Chad Winger (11-5) wasn't every effective at 4.2 6 5 5 1 2. Ezequiel Avalos made his Rays debut and it wasn't very memorable, striking out with two on and two out in the first, hitting into a double play in the 3rd and leaving the bases loaded later in the game for an 0-4, 5 LOB night.

Game 2: The Rays bounced back to beat the Padres 3-0 as a trio of hurlers combined on an 8-hit shutout. Alec McInerney went to 6-0, 1.66 in 8 starts since rejoining the club after a 5 6 0 0 0 7 outing today, Jimmy Bernal went 3 scoreless and Steve Talbott finished for save #33. A 3-run 3rd saw all the Rays scoring with Juan Davila blasting a 2-run homer (#27) and Ezequiel Avalos getting his first hit as a Ray, an RBI double as he was 2-4 on the day.

Game 3: Tampa Bay took the series from San Diego with a 5-2 win in the finale. Steve Morris (12-3) was solid at 6.1 6 2 2 1 6 and Steve Talbott saved again, his 34th. And it was Juan Davila to the rescue again as the front-runner to be AL MVP had a 3-run homer in the 5th (#28) with Jon Morales going-back-to-back with him, his 27th longball. Ezequiel Avalos had an RBI single to get the Rays on the board as he settles in.

Team record: 79-27. The Yankees dropped 2 of 3 up the coast in LA so the division lead has grown to a stout 8 1/2 games. Next up: Flying back home for 3 against Milwaukee as interleague play continues.
