The Rays took 2 of 3, coming back late in both their wins, and remain in a tie atop the AL East with Toronto.

A 4-run 6th turned things around for Tampa Bay as they came back to beat the Rangers 6-4 in the opener. Trailing 4-2 Jake Westfall started the rally with a solo homer (#25), Danny Charlton tied things up with an RBI single (his 3rd hit of the day) and Bobby Marin singled in the go-ahead run. Orlando Tosado went deep with his 28th homer earlier. Danny Morales (12-4) hung in there for the win going 6 7 4 4 2 5 and Mike Moore had 3 whiffs in the 9th for save #22.

The Rays fell behind 4-0 early again in the second game but this time the comeback fell short and Texas took a 5-2 win. The red-hot Orlando Tosado (6 homers in his last 12 games) went deep again with #29, halving the Ranger lead, but that was all the offense would muster. Joe Marlette (8-5) had an off-night at 5.1 5 4 4 4 6 in the loss.

Transaction: He's back! Kevin DiCostanzo returns from his rehab assignment and will rejoin the rotation for the first time since May 17 after missing nearly 3 months with a severely sprained ankle. Adrian Morejon was DFA'd to make room, a move I would have preferred not to make but the only reliever on the staff with options is Moore, our closer.

Much like the opener the Rays got some late magic to pull out a 7-5 win over the Rangers as a 3-run rally in the 8th brought them the win. Danny Arroyave's 2-run double not only was the winning hit but it capped a 5-for-5, 3-double, 3-RBI game for him. Orlando Tosado hit the 30-homer mark by going deep in all 3 games of the series, and Arturo Gutierrez had a big 2-run triple. Kevin DiCostanzo's return to the rotation was not a successful one as he struggled going 3 5 3 3 4 5. Matt Cronin picked up his first win in relief and Mike Moore had a quick 8-pitch 1-2-3 9th for his 23rd save.

Team record: 73-45. Next up: Off to San Antonio for 3 games to play the 42-75 Alamos.
