Transaction: Forgot to mention this in the previous post but rookie 2B Jose Machado was activated off the IL during the last series and Juan de Oca was optioned to Durham. Since Machado got hurt we acquired Alex Brown so the two will kind of split time and Machado will definitely start against lefties.

Game 1: The Rays were rude hosts to the Reds, walloping them 11-3 in the opener at Publix Park. Jose Machado had his best game as a big leaguer, hitting 3 doubles including a 2-run two-bagger in a 5-run 2nd that broke the game open and he ended up knocking in 5. Jesus Avalos' 2-run shot (#9) capped the 2nd, and Tony Vasquez added a solo shot (#8/15). Ben Hilton (4-2) picked up the win after going 5.1 5 2 1 1 3.

Game 2: Tampa Bay took Cincinnati down again behind a dominant Dave Rose outing 4-1. After a rough April Rose has now evened his record at 4-4 thanks to an overpowering 7 3 0 0 1 11 performance. Willie Navarro handled the 9th for his 2nd save. The key hit came in the 2nd on Nesty de la Rosa's 2-run single which made it 3-0.

Game 3: The final score said 9-3 Rays but the sweep didn't come easy until they erupted for 6 runs in the 8th to break a 3-3 tie. Sung-min Yang's 2-run homer (#11) broke the deadlock and then they added four more runs including a 2-run Jesus Avalos single. Ezequiel Avalos earlier had a 2-run homer (#12) while Luis Barela was 3-5 with 2 RBI. Vinny Miranda started, going 6 2 2 2 1 7 and was in line for the win before Willie Navarro (3-0) vultured it by allowing a game-tying RBI single in the top of the 8th.

Team record: 34-22. The Yankees took 3 of 4 including one on our off-day so we trail them now by 2 1/2 games. Next up: After that off-day we head to Baltimore for 3 games.
