Game 1: The Rays comfortably won their opener 10-6 over the Rangers with the final score a bit misleading as it was 10-2 before they allowed 4 late runs. Jesus Avalos doubled twice and drove in a pair and Luis Barela knocked in two with a double as well. Randy Mastropietro was excellent in his first outing of the season at 6 4 2 1 2 5 but Chris Giles gave up 4 runs in the 8 to mar the final score.

Game 2: After scoring 10 runs in each of the last two games the worm suddenly turned on Tampa Bay as they were shut out 3-0 by Texas. Dave Rose (0-1) pitched decently at 6 7 3 3 1 8 but gave up a couple of homers. The bats did get 8 hits but a couple of double plays short-circuited rallies.

Game 3: Not sure this has happened in this save but the Rays were shut out in consecutive games as Texas won again 4-0. This time they only managed five hits and find themselves off to a dismal 2-5 start to the season. Melvin Lopez (0-1) went 4.2 3 2 2 4 3 in the loss.

Team record: 2-5. Next up: An off-day then Oakland visits for 3 games.
