Game 1: Yuji Morioka can't stop hitting and he gave the Rays a 2-1 walk-off win at Publix Park against the Phillies by belting a leadoff homer (#15) in the bottom of the 9th to break a 1-1 deadlock. Chad Gardner was very good (7.2 7 1 1 0 5) and Luis Barela, who was on base all four times up, singled in the first Rays run. Steve Falcon (3-1) pitched the 9th for the win.

Game 2: Bob Riley was solid again and he got some early run support as the Rays cruised to their 9th straight win 5-2 over Philadelphia. Riley (5-2) pitched a typical Bob Riley game at 6 8 2 2 1 5 and Steve Falcon closed it out for save #13. His mates got him four runs in the first three innings with a solo homer from Jon Morales (an MLB-best 16th) and a 2-run shot from Luis Barela (#10) leading the way.

Wednesday's third game was rained out and postponed to Thursday, a scheduled off-day for both teams.

Game 3: Melvin Delgado had a rough start but the bats got him off the hook as the Rays completed the sweep with an 8-5 victory, their 10th straight and 18th in their last 19. Delgado was hit-prone going 4.1 10 4 2 1 1 and didn't have his best stuff but every time the Phillies scored the Rays answered. Nelson Bocardo did a lot of the answering, going 4-4 with a double and 2 RBI, Juan Davila launched a 2-run homer (#12), Yuji Morioka drove in two more runs and Chris Kidd had a steal and an RBI triple. Jose Morales (4-0) picked up the win in relief and Steve Falcon ended up figuring in all 3 games with the rainout involved, notching save #14.

Team record: 37-13. Next up: Arizona comes to town for 3.
