We Meat Loafed Miami, but thanks to a Toronto sweep our division lead has been shaved to 2 games.

Things looked pretty bleak in the opener as Joe Scheu just didn't have it today and Marlins raced out to a 5-0 lead after 3 innings. Scheu was roasted to the tune of 2.2 8 5 5 2 4 and it was still 6-2 after 5. But a 6-run 6th turned it around for the Rays and they went on to win by 5, 12-7, in a game they trailed by 5. Alex Rivas' bases-clearing triple in the 6th put them ahead to stay and Justin Blackwell belted a pair of homers in the late innings for insurance, driving in 3 and giving him 6 for the year. Earlier Luis Berumen (#6) and Danny Arroyave (#12) had solo shots while Jake Bridgewater (2-1) picked up the win in relief.

For the second straight day the Rays fell behind 5-0 but this time there would be no comeback as the Marlins dealt them a 5-1 loss. Nick Wallerstedt (4-4) was off his game today and issued a pair of bases-loaded walks before being lifted in the 5th after going 4.1 5 4 4 4 2. The Rays got their lone run in the 9th to avoid a blanking.

A quartet of homers and the typical fine pitching of Joe Marlette led the Rays to a 7-2 win in the finale, taking the series from Miami. Marlette (9-2) was a sterling 7 3 2 2 1 7 with the damage coming via a pair of solo homers and he had plenty of support. Bobby Marin went solo in the first with his 9th and Willie Gutierrez, having a nice year when he's been healthy, added a 2-run shot (#3) in the 2nd to get things rolling. And Danny Arroyave (#13, a 2-run homer) and Luis Cisernos (#2) added blasts in the 4th.

Team record: 41-28. Next up: We had back up the state to St. Pete to play 3 against Oakland.
