Game 1: The Rays needed seven pitchers, but they got the job done in a big 3-1 win over the Yankees to reduce their magic number to clinch the division to 4. Brad Villarreal started but needed 92 pitches to go 4 6 1 1 2 1 hence the parade of hurlers. Warren Dalton (4-0) relieved him and earned the win while in the end it was Mario Berumen with his 38th save. One of the pitching changes was necessitated by injury as Chris Resnick had to leave with a strained hamstring which will sideline him through the postseason. The offense came courtesy of homers from Takayuki Tsujimura (#11) and Jesus Avalos (#32).

September 25: Placed P Chris Resnick on the 15-day IL, activated P Randy Mastropietro from the IL.

Mastro had been out since the end of July and since Durham's season is over he'll rehab at the big league level. He's an option to start in the postseason as only Rose and Villarreal are locks for the rotation.

Game 2: The Yankees bludgeoned the Rays 8-2 as Erik Witten was hit hard. The righty fell to 3-4 after a brutal 2 6 6 6 1 2 outing which saw him allow 3 homers. The only bright spot for Tampa Bay was 3 scoreless innings from Randy Mastropietro in relief.

Game 3: The rains came in the Bronx and caused this game to be postponed as the teams will now to have to convene the day after the regular season ends for everyone else to make it up. It's possible the division could be on the line but it would take a Tampa Bay collapse.

Team record: 92-62. Next up: 3 games in Boston.
