Game 1: The Rays jumped out a 5-1 lead in their 2056 home opener and held on to beat Toronto 5-4. Nesty de la Rosa had a pair of RBI doubles to lead the offense, and the pitching was a mix-and-match affair as the oft-injured Randy Mastropietro had to leave his first start of the year in the 2nd, giving way to Tim Johnson (1-0) who went 4.2 3 3 3 4 5 in long relief for the win. Mario Berumen secured his 2nd save despite allowing a run in the 9th.

Game 2: We only had to wait until the second home game of the season to get one of Tampa Bay's famous Patented Publix Park comebacks as they scored 6 times in the 8th to pull out a 10-8 slugfest over the Blue Jays. Takayuki Tsujimara showed last postseason that he has a knack for coming through in the clutch and today his pinch-double in that 8th inning cleared the bases and gave the Rays the lead for good. Dantel Chinchilla drove in a pair and Sung-min Yang went deep for the first time this season. The less said about the pitching the better as Melvin Lopez was knocked around 4 8 5 5 1 2 and Chris Resnick (1-0) allowed 2 runs in the 9th after pitching the 8th for the win so Danny Sanchez had to come on and get the final out for his first save.

Game 3: It's Jesus Avalos' world and we're all just living in it as the superstar CF belted three homers and drove in 6 as part of a 4-4 day to lead the Rays to an 11-3 rout of the Jays. The 3 jacks give him an MLB-leading 6 on the young season and his namesake Ezequiel along with Sung-min Yang each hit their 2nd longball. Dave Rose (1-1) struggled a bit early but settled in for an easy win at 7 8 2 2 1 9.

Team record: 5-1. Up next: The Rays' hot start to the year will be tested after an off-day with 3 games in Baltimore against the 5-2 Orioles who have their own red-hot star in Kevin Hill who's knocked in 15 in those 7 games while hitting .433.
