Game 1: High drama at Progressive Field as the Rays tied it in the 9th and won it in the 10th 3-2 over the Guardians. And the hero in both cases was Mike McKee, who singled in Jimmy Leonard, who had walked and gone to 2nd on a wild pitch in the 9th and then brought home Ben Hill, who had led off the 10th with a double, for the winner. Daniel Vasquez hit HR #13 in the 4th for the first Rays run, and McKee's heroics got Danny Romero off the hook against his old team despite pitching well at 5 6 2 2 3 5. The other story of the night was the much-maligned bullpen, which came through with 5 hitless innings and 8 whiffs, the final two courtesy of Joe Trader who picked up his 3rd win.

Game 2: Another nail-biter went the Rays' way in Cleveland as Quincy Siegle, who had homered in the 7th to put the Rays up 5-4 before they lost that lead, homered again in the 9th (his 5th) to give them a 6-5 win. Pat Moyer was 2-3 with an RBI double to pace the early scoring while Nate Thompson suffered a 4-run 3rd and finished 6.1 8 5 5 1 6, with Ken Burgess picking up his first win of the year and Kikuo Kawase notching save #12 after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the 9th.

Game 3: Cleveland's Andy Cormier shut down the Rays in a 7-0 Cleveland win in the series finale, yielding only 4 hits over 8 1/3 innings. Tim Gates pitched decently for Tampa Bay, going 6 5 3 3 1 6, but Jesus Morales couldn't get anyone out and ended up being charged with 4 runs in a 5-run Cleveland 7th.

Team record: 33-10. Next up: An off-day then back to Tampa to start a homestand with the Yankees coming to town for the weekend.
