The Rays continued their resurgence by taking 2 of 3 in Oakland but the Yankees pulled off a sweep to move back within 1 1/2 games in the division.

Transaction: Luis Berumen was activated from the IL as the team's recent swoon could be chalked up in large part to his absence, and Danny Arevalo was returned to Durham.

RBI singles from Jeremy Begley (in his first game back in Oakland after becoming a superstar there) and Luis Berumen (in his first game off the IL) in the 9th inning gave the Rays a 3-2 comeback win over the A's to kick off their 3-game series. Before that the Rays had been stymied by one of the players they traded for Begley as Dwayne Marion held them to one run on three hits through five. Marion has pitched well as the rookie has a 3.13 ERA through 84 innings so far although he did give up a solo homer to Danny Rodriguez (#14). Gabe Bryant went 4.1 4 0 0 1 2 before leaving with a minor back tweak, Ken Battle (1-1) got the win in relief and Tony Alicea closed it out for save #18.

Jeremy Begley continued to torment his old team, going 3-5 with a 2-run homer (#16) to lead Tampa Bay to a 5-3 win in the second game. Begley's homer came in the 3rd and the Rays scored all their runs by that inning and all via homer with a 2-run shot from Danny Charlton (#13) in the 1st and a solo blast from Luis Berumen (#15). Joe Marlette (8-2) didn't have his best stuff today but got through at 6 5 3 3 2 2 and Tony Alicea had a 2K 1-2-3 9th to earn his 19th save.

The Rays dropped the finale to Oakland as the A's scored three times in the 5th to break a 2-2 tie and went on to prevail 6-2. Mario Urizar (6-3) had an off-game, finishing 4.1 8 4 4 1 4 and ran a-cropper in that 5th. The Rays did get homers for the second straight day from Jeremy Begley (#17) and Luis Berumen (#16) but nothing else.

Team record: 46-30. Next up: 2 games in Toronto.
