The Rays' hot streak rolled on as they swept the Royals (who were 15-8 coming in) and extended their winning run to 8 games.

Quality pitching and just enough offense earned the Rays a 3-2 win in the opener. Justin Blackwell's RBI single in the 9th against his former team provided the winner and Leo Gutierrez turned in another good start (5.1 2 1 1 3 4). Alden Segui picked up his first Tampa Bay win in relief and Eric Lewis closed it out for save #8. Wander Franco had a first-inning homer (#5) which came off former Ray Jeremy Brooks.

Danny Arroyave almost single-handedly willed the Rays to a 4-3 win in the second game, knocking in all four Tampa Bay runs including the go-ahead run with a single in the 6th. Arroyave had an RBI double in the first and a 2-run homer (#6) in the 5th and made a winner of Joe Marlette (3-1), who went 6.1 7 3 3 2 5 with the only damage a 3-run homer allowed in the 4th. Eric Lewis saved again, his 9th.

The Rays played home run derby in the finale, going yard five times and downing Kansas City 9-5. Joe Stack had a pair of solo shots to give him 5 on the year and Danny Charlton had the biggest day among the hitters, going 2-4 with HR #6 and 3 RBI. Also finding the seats were Bobby Marin (#4) with a 2-run shot and Mal Stephens (#2) who went back-to-back with Stack in the 6th. Danny Morales (2-1) wasn't his best but good enough for the win at 5 9 3 3 1 6.

Team record: 17-10. We gained a game on Toronto and now sit 1 1/2 back. Next up: Back home for 3 against Seattle.
