August 21-23, 2051: vs Oklahoma City (3)

Game 1: The Rays romped in the opener against the Sunbirds at Publix Park, going up 6-0 after two and winning 8-2. It was a two-man show on offense with Jon Morales going 3-3 with a pair of homers (#31 & 32) and 4 RBI and Juan Davila equaling his output with a pair of his own (#29 & 30) and driving in three. The two also combined to score 6 of the team's 8 runs today. Alec McInerney (9-1) cruised to the win going 6.2 6 1 1 1 5.

Game 2: Steve Morris and the Rays got enough offense to beat Oklahoma City 4-1 in the second game. Morris improved to 15-4 with a tidy 7 6 1 1 0 4 outing and Steve Talbott earned his MLB-best 41st save. Jon Morales swung the big bat again, driving in a pair with a solo homer (#33) and an RBI single.

Game 3: Tampa Bay completed the sweep and made it 10 wins on the trot with a 7-2 beatdown of the Sunbirds. The longball was in abundance today with Juan Davila (#31), Ezequiel Avalos (#4/8), Dantel Chinchilla (#8) and Juan Viatoro (#13) all going yard with Viatoro's a 3-run shot. Dave Rose became the AL's first 16-game winner this year with a comfortable 7 5 1 1 1 5 outing.

Team record: 96-31
. Next up: Boston comes to town for 4 games.
