April 8-10, 2052: vs Baltimore (3)

Game 1: The Rays routed the Orioles 8-1 to open their series at Publix Park. Dave Rose (3-0) made it three dominant starts out of three, getting the win after going 7 5 1 1 0 8. Luis Barela had a 2-run single, Ezequiel Avalos added a 2-run triple, and Ruben Ramirez had a solo shot for his first homer of the young season.

Game 2
: Tampa Bay took a 3-2 win over the Orioles in 11 innings in the most dramatic of fashions, getting solo shots from Jon McGovern (#3) to tie it in the bottom of the 11th and two batters later, Jon Morales (#3) to walk it off. This came after Baltimore went ahead in the 11th against Mario Berumen with Joe Roberts (1-0) picking up the win after getting the final two outs. Before all that it was a pitchers' duel with Tim Johnson turning in his best start as a Ray at 6 6 1 1 3 4 and Ruben Ramirez homering for the second straight day (#2) for their lone run in regulation.

Game 3: The Rays finished off a sweep of Baltimore with a 6-3 win in the finale. Alec McInerney (2-1) went 6 4 3 3 1 4 for the win, allowing all 3 runs in his final stanza. Steve Talbott struck out the first two men in the 9th looking for the save, but had to leave with an elbow sprain and will miss 2-3 weeks. Nesty de la Rosa had a big RBI double early and Ruben Ramirez made it homers in each of the three games of the series with a 2-run shot as he's been DHing while Jose Lozada gets over a minor but moderate injury.

Team record: 9-4. Next up: An off-day then we hit the road for 3 in Chicago against the White Sox.
