Game 1: The Rays got some great pitching and just enough offense to eke out a 2-0 win over the Yankees in New York. Juan Davila tripled in a run in the 3rd and then scored on a Jon Morales single to account for the offense and Rex Bransington (10-2) was excellent at 5 2 0 0 1 4. Bransington threw 72 pitches and then four relievers combined to get the final 12 outs while throwing only 27 pitches in total to give them team a rare combined Maddux, a 99-pitch team shutout. Steve Talbott was the last of them, recording save #45 while only tossing 6 pitches.

Game 2: Two runs weren't enough today as the Yankees doubled up the Rays 4-2 in the second game. A two-run Beau Bonczek shot (#32) in the 2nd gave them an early lead but the offense dried up after that. Chad Winger (14-7) wasn't very good today at 3.2 5 4 4 4 5 with a couple of homers allowed. The one bright spot was the Rays debut of Melvin Lopez, who threw three one-hit shutout innings in relief.

Game 3: The Rays' offense continued to be stuck on two runs and once again that wasn't enough as the Yankees took the series with another 4-2 win. Jon McGovern was the only one on offense who produced, going 2-3 with 2 walks, a steal and a run scored. Alec McInerney pitched well at 6 5 2 2 1 3 and it was 2-2 until the Yankees broke through for a pair against Mario Berumen in the 8th and the righty took his first loss as a Ray.

Team record: 104-36. Next up: An off-day then we return home to Tampa to take on Toronto.
