Game 1: A first in all the thousands upon thousands of games I've played out in my Rays saves, I had a suspended game. The rains came in the bottom of the 7th with the Giants up 3-1 and the game was suspended until the next day. That's how it ended as well thanks to Mario Berumen giving up a 2-run homer with Vinny Miranda's man on. Miranda dropped to 4-9 despite pitching well again and sporting an ERA of 3.54 with today's outing seeing him go 6.2 5 2 2 1 5. A Tony Vasquez solo shot in the 6th (#22/29) was all the offense could muster.

Game 2: The Rays offense struggled again, managing only 4 hits, but thanks to another stellar effort from rookie Randy Mastropietro it was enough in a 2-1 win. The lefty went to 14-2 after a 6 4 1 1 3 4 performance and the bullpen held strong with Steve Talbott notching save #28. Ezequiel Avalos' 2-run homer (#23) in the 5th was all the offense they needed, and all the offense they got.

Game 3: Excellent pitching gave the Rays a series win as Dave Rose dominated in a 5-0 triumph in the finale. Rose (10-6) was overpowering and effectively wild in going 6.1 6 0 0 4 12 and got support from Jose Lozada (3-4 with 3 RBI doubles) and Luis Barela (2-4 with HR #27).

Team record: 68-39. The Yankees also took 2 of 3 so the division lead remains 2 1/2 games. Next up: Off to Wrigley for 3 against the 68-40 Cubs who feature former Rays sluggers Doug Johns and Beau Bonczek. As of today it's a matchup between the #2 and 3 records in baseball with the Dodgers a half-game better than Tampa Bay at 68-38.
