Game 1: 5-6 L. LP-Ruegger (4-2). Starter-Swanda (0.2 4 3 3 0 1). HR-Luciano (10), Torkelson (19). The game started and ended badly for the Rays, who lost starter Swanda in the first with a tender elbow and fell behind 5-1 after 3. They fought all the way back to tie in the 8th but lost when Ruegger allowed a run in the bottom of the 9th. Swanda will only be shelved a week so we may not put him on the IL for 15 days.

Game 2: 5-4 W. WP-Sears (3-0). S-Fairbanks (19). Starter-Orze (5 4 4 4 3 4). HR-Torkelson (20). This time the Rays' comeback resulted in a win as they trailed 4-2 going into the 8th before Tork drilled a 3-run homer off last year's AL Reliever of the Year Will Vest. With the staff depleted from yesterday's bullpen game Fairbanks went 2 innings for the save and was excellent. The win was costly though as Zach DeLoach strained a hamstring and will miss 5-6 weeks. He was hitting 298/376/500 and had earned 2.9 WAR in less than half a season.

Team record: 48-26. Once again the Jays and Yanks split their games with each other so the lead remains 6 games. Next up: More interleague fun with 3 games in St. Louis where the Cards are a very good 44-30.
