Game 1: The bats fell silent and the Rays wasted a fine Dave Rose performance as they fell 2-1 to the Twins at Target Field. Rose (1-2) was 6.2 4 2 1 1 9 in a brilliant outing marred only by a 2-run homer allowed in the 4th which was enough to give Minnesota the win. Nesty de la Rosa's solo homer (#2) was all they could manage.

Game 2: With Ben Hilton nursing a sprained ankle an emergency spot start was given to Melvin Lopez and it did not go well at all as the Twins jumped all over him on their way to a 7-2 win over the Rays. Lopez (0-1) was a brutal 3 9 5 5 0 2 and the offense had little response save for an Ezequiel Avalos solo homer (#7).

Game 3: Thinks looked good early in the finale for Tampa Bay when Luis Barela smacked a 3-run homer in the first (#5) with Randy Mastropietro on the mound. But the lefty couldn't hold the lead and was hit hard at 3.1 10 5 5 1 3 as Minnesota came back to complete the sweep with a 5-4 win.

Team record: 7-6. The Yankees swept Boston in Fenway to extend their insane start to 12-1, dropping the Rays a full five games back early in the season. Next up: A day off then our road-heavy early season schedule continues with 3 in Toronto, where we opened the season with four only a couple of weeks ago.
