Once again the Rays failed to complete a sweep, but for a change the bats were at fault instead of the bullpen.

The Rays scored 5 times in the first inning of their opener against San Antonio and never looked back, rolling to a 9-4 win. Alamos starter Justin Robinson walked 5 in less than 2 innings and Justin Blackwell knocked in three of them with a bases-clearing double in that first while Danny Perez homered again (#17) and drove in 3 and Billy Doughty plated a pair including himself on HR #7. Chris Ericson (4-2) was in good form at 5 6 1 1 1 1 6 for the win.

Danny Morales did his thing again and the Rays got the best of the Alamos 4-2. The ace righty improved to 6-0, 1.96 after a 7.1 4 1 1 1 5 outing which is almost par for the course with him. Walt Kelly came on in the 8th and made a mess in the 9th so Ken Battle came in against a lefty for the final out and earned his first save. Tony Fisher led the way on offense with a pair of RBI singles, one in the first to get them on the board and then the other in a 3-run 6th inning.

As alluded to in the open, it was the bats which let Tampa Bay down in the finale as they only managed 3 hits in a 3-0 loss to San Antonio. Ruben Cerrillo (5-3) was decent at 7.2 7 3 3 2 7 but was wholly unsupported as the Rays lost for only the third time this season in 23 home games.

Team record: 35-13, 7 1/2 up on the Yankees. Next up: An off-day then 3 games in Toronto.
