Game 1: Steve Swords was outstanding the Rays got just enough offense to get by Boston 3-0 in the opener at Fenway. Swords (6-0) took a 2-hit shutout into the 9th before giving up a one-out single to finish 8.1 3 0 0 1 8 and lower his ERA to 3.36. Dave Flores got the final two outs for his 3rd save and Joel Bland drove in two of the three runs on a solo homer (#6) and a groundout.

Game 2: After losing a 3-0 lead and falling behind 5-3 the Rays got to slugging and ran past the Red Sox 11-5. Dantel Chinchilla had a massive game going 3-5 with 2 homers and 4 RBI, doubling his HR output for the season. His second was a shot that went over The Monster and ended up on Lansdowne Street, tying the game at 5 in the 5th. Rookie Paul Mayes also had a night to remember as he hit his first MLB homer, a 3-run shot in the 9th to put the game away. Jorge Barazza (3-2) wasn't very good, giving up 5 runs in the 5th including a slam, but still got the win after a 6 11 5 5 2 4 outing.

Game 3: The Rays completed a rare sweep in Fenway after beating Boston 5-3 in the finale. All the scoring came in the first three innings with homers from Dave Gonzalez (#4, a 2-run shot) and Jose Machado (#4, solo) leading the way. Machado had a 3-hit day and now leads MLB in batting average at .338. Randy Mastropietro did his usual high-wire act with baserunners but managed to improve to 3-1 off a 5 9 3 3 2 1 performance and four relievers turned in a scoreless inning apiece to preserve the lead with Mario Berumen closing for save #13.

Team record: 41-28. The sweep enabled the Rays to halve Baltimore's division lead to 2 games after the Orioles dropped a couple at home to Minnesota. The Rays are also now in sole possession of WC1. Next up: An off-day as we travel down I-95 to the Bronx, where the Yankees await for 3 games.
