Game 1: The Rays continued their hot start to 2055 against teams not named the Yankees with a 4-1 win over Seattle thanks to a dominant Dave Rose performance. The ace righty improved to 2-1 after an 8.1 6 1 1 0 13 outing which saw him take a shutout into the 9th before surrendering a one-out homer. The offense came courtesy of Jesus Avalos, who led the game off with a homer (#4) and a 2-run shot from Nesty de la Rosa in the 3rd (#2).

Game 2: Tampa Bay came out on top in a truly wild one, edging the Mariners 11-10 in 10 innings after rallying to take the load, blowing it in the 9th and then walking it off in the 10th. Things started badly as Manny Cervantes continues to be a problem, going 3 9 6 6 2 1 and putting them in early deficits of 4-1 and 6-3. It looked like they'd pull out the win though when Jesus Avalos blasted a 3-run homer (#5) in the 8th to put them up 10-8 but Mario Berumen gave up 2 runs on 4 hits in the 9th to send it to extras. The Rays then got a man to 3rd in the 10th and Avalos brought him home with a sac fly. Earlier they got a solo homer (#1) and a 2-run double from Ezequiel Avalos and a 2-run homer (#6) from Luis Barela. Danny Sanchez (2-0) picked up the win with a scoreless 10th.

Game 3: The Rays completed the sweep of Seattle with a tidy 4-2 win in the finale. Brad Villarreal (4-1) continued his excellent start to the season by going 5.1 5 1 1 2 4 (although that outing saw his ERA rise to 1.34) and Danny Sanchez earned his 3rd save by getting final two outs in the 9th. The unlikely offensive hero was backup catcher Cesar Scroggins, whose 3-run homer (#1) in the 5th broke the ice. Dantel Chinchilla chipped in a solo shot (#2).

Team record: 16-7. The Yankees deigned to lose a game so we're back within 2 of New York. Next up: We hit the road starting with 3 in Texas.
