The Rays split the two-game set with New York while Toronto split their, so it's status quo ante with the Rays still 1 1/2 back.

Transaction: Slade Cecconi's rehab time was up at Durham and with Randy Morris pitching somewhat poorly of late and having an option, he was the choice to go down to Durham. Cecconi will take Morris's place in the rotation, at least until Kevin DiCostanzo returns in early August.

The opener was a frustrating game for Tampa Bay as they battled back from a 5-0 deficit to come all the way back to tie the game 6 in the 8th, only for Devon Williams to fail again and allow 3 in the bottom of the inning to allow the Yankees a 9-6 win. Slade Cecconi came off the IL and got the start and despite a full month in Durham he looked rusty, giving up 3 homers in a 4 6 5 5 0 2 outing. But the Rays fought back, culminating in a 3-run rally in the 8th on back-to-back homers from Orlando Tosado (#20, a 2-run shot) and Joe Stack (#23). Unfortunately Williams (1-2) gave up 3 runs on 3 hits including a 2-run homer as despite his sterling ratings and good numbers with Washington, he sports an 8.68 ERA now with the Rays.

The Rays bashed four homers in the second game and took a relatively comfortable 8-3 win over the Yankees to gain a split. Chris Ferguson (10-4) was solid once again on the mound at 5.2 5 2 2 3 4 and got support with a 2-run homer from Orlando Tosado (#21) and solo shots from Bobby Marin (#2), Wander Franco (#9) and Danny Arroyave (#22).

Team record: 58-37. Next up: After just getting done playing 4 in Toronto we face the Jays again, this time for a pair at Tropicana Field and a chance to move into first with a sweep.
