Game 1: The Rays got a big game from Ezequiel Avalos and needed all of it as they snuck by the White Sox 6-5 in 10 innings in the series lid-lifter. Avalos was 3-5 with 2 HR & 4 RBI, giving him 7 longballs with the Rays and 11 overall, but it was Jon McGovern's RBI single in the 10th which sent the locals home happy. Beau Bonczek added a solo shot (#35). Chad Winger certainly scattered the hits at 5.2 10 2 2 0 3 and Mario Berumen (3-1) ended up with the win after hurling the final 3 innings on only 30 pitches.

Game 2: Tampa Bay had to come back again to take a 6-4 win over Chicago in the second game. Beau Bonczek's solo homer (#36) tied it in the 6th, Jon Morales' 39th won it in the 7th, and Cesar Scroggins hit his 2nd in the 8th for insurance while Luis Barela also knocked in a pair. Alec McInerney was 5 6 4 4 1 4, Melvin Lopez picked up his first Rays win with a pair of scoreless innings, and Steve Talbott earned his 48th save, putting him one shy of Fernando Rodney's single-season club mark.

Game 3: We haven't had a lot of them lately, but the finale was a classic Publix Park shootout which saw the Rays prevail 11-8 to sweep their second straight series. Chicago went up 5-2 and 8-5 in the 3rd and 4th but the Rays answered in both innings and led 9-8 after 4. Beau Bonczek hit a solo homer (#37) for the third straight game and added a 2-run double while Juan Viatoro, Luis Barela and Ezequiel Avalos each plated a pair. Steve Morris turned in his third disaster start in his last four outings at 3.1 9 7 7 0 2, Jimmy Bernal (9-3) picked up the win despite allowing a run in his inning of work, and Mel Mejia closed for his first save of the season.

Team record: 110-36. Next up: An off-day then the Angels visit for 3 games.
