Game 1: Randy Mastropietro wrapped up a magnificent rookie season in magnificent fashion, hurling 8 shutout innings as the Rays edged the Red Sox 1-0. The lefty finished his first full season 19-6, 2.93 which was good for 4.5 WAR after his 8 6 0 0 1 6 outing. Steve Talbott hit the 40-save plateau as he completed the team shutout. The lone run came on a Jesus Avalos RBI single in the 3rd.

Game 2: Alec McInerney struggled in a spot start and a lineup featuring several reserves couldn't outscore the pitching in a 7-5 loss. After pitching very well in relief this year McInerney didn't in his start, going 4 8 5 5 2 2. Nevertheless the bats managed to tie the game at 5 with Cameron Holly's 2-run double the big hit, but Willie Navarro (8-4) coughed up a pair of runs in the 8th to lose it after Jose Machado's RBI single in the top of the frame tied it.

Game 3: Another reserve-laden lineup and another spot starter spelled another defeat for the Rays in the regular-season finale as they fell 4-0 to Boston. Melvin Lopez (2-5) got the ball today and actually pitched pretty well into the 6th before leaving a couple of men on whom the pen allowed to score, leaving him with a 5.2 5 4 4 3 4 line. Meanwhile the offense could only scratch out four hits.

Final Regular Season Record: 103-59. Next up: The ALDS against either the Yankees or Toronto, which held off the White Sox for the second wild card. The other MLB race in doubt was the NL East, and Atlanta finished ahead of Washington.
