Game 1: 7-6 W. WP-Buckman (2-2). S-R.Rodriguez (32). Starter-Eldridge (4.1 5 2 2 3 3). HR-Alvarez (18). A weird one as the Rays jumped out to a 6-0 lead, Eldridge couldn't get through the 5th on 97 pitches, then the pen let the Cards get from 7-2 down to within a run before Ogando fanned the side in the 8th and R-Rod whiffed 2 in the 9th. Carson Williams' 2-run single in a 5-run 2nd was the big hit of the game.

Game 2: 5-2 W. WP-Evans (10-5, 7 2 1 1 0 13). S-R.Rodriguez (33). HR-Alvarez (19). Alvarez homered yet again and the Rays took a 2-0 lead into the 8th thanks to another ridiculous outing from Donye Evans, who has walked 1 and fanned 28 in 14 IP over his last two starts. Cards halved the lead in the 8th before the Rays tacked on 3 runs in the 9th but still need R-Rod to come in for the last out after Cody Holcombe made a mess, preserving their 5th straight victory.

Game 3: 0-1 L. LP-Acosta (5-4, 6 7 1 1 0 7). Acosta's best game since signing his extension went to waste when the bats only managed four hits and the Rays couldn't complete the sweep.

Team record: 84-68. An impressive 2 wins in 3 against a really good Cardinal team was only good for dropping a game in the standings thanks to the Jays sweeping hapless Milwaukee and pulling within 1/2 game of Tampa Bay. The Yankees did drop a pair to the Cubs to fall 3 back. Next up: the road takes us to San Antonio for 3 against the Seagulls (the former Pirates for those who forgot).
