Game 1: A 3-3 game going into the 8th turned into a 6-4 Toronto win when Joe Roberts (0-1) coughed up 3 runs to lose it. Luis Barela's 2-run single was the big hit for the Rays today while Dave Rose was 6 4 3 3 4 8 in his start.

Game 2: The bullpen let another one get away after the Rays overcame an early 4-0 deficit to go ahead 5-4, only to lose 6-5 in the late innings as Tampa Bay seems to have a hard time beating anyone not named Oakland so far this season. Melvin Lopez was knocked around to the tune of 5 5 4 4 2 5 before a 3-run from Sung-min Yang (#2) and David Morales' 2-run single put them ahead. But Willie Navarro gave up the tying run in the 7th and Joe Roberts (0-2) faltered again, allowing the winner in the 8th.

April 15: Placed 2B Jose Machado on the 10-day IL with hamstring tendinitis, activated 2B Cameron Holly from his rehab assignment.

The rookie Machado will be out 3 weeks while Holly only got a couple of games with Durham in his first action of the year but will be pressed into helping the big club out now.

Game 3: The good news is that the bullpen didn't blow it this time but the bad news is that was because they were already down 4-1 before the pen blew up and Toronto swept the series with an 11-3 win, making it six wins in seven games against the Rays in this young season. Tim Johnson (1-2) had his struggles at 5.2 10 4 4 1 7 before Chris Hetzel and Steve Bourassa let it get completely out of hand by combining to allow 6 runs in the 7th. The only bright spot for Tampa Bay was rookie DH Sung-min Yang, who was 3-4 with another homer (#3) and 2 RBI.

Team record: 5-8. Next up: An off-day to lick our wounds then off to Cleveland for 3 games.
