The Rays were never going to go 162-0 and that became a reality in the first game of this series but they did bounce back to take the next two and are off to a roaring 6-1 start.

If the bullpen had held in the opener they might very well be talking about 7-0 but it didn't and a 4-3 lead after 6 ended up a 5-4 loss in 10 innings to the Alamos. Stan LeVea gave up a pair of doubles in the 7th to let San Antonio tie and then Danny Mauricio (0-1) served up a solo homer in the 10th to reigning AL MVP Darius Williams. Before that they got the typical Mario Urizar start - 6 4 3 3 2 4. The offense came courtesy of Tony Fisher's 1st homer of the year, a 2-run shot, and the first Rays homer from Isaiah Jackson, a solo blast after he had earlier doubled in a run.

The Rays took losing the first game of 2038 personally and proceeded to make like Santa Ana and overrun the Alamos 13-2. San Antonio started a lefty and you know what that means - hits galore from Agustin Lopez, who was 4-5 with 3 RBI to lead the way and making it 9-for-13 to start the season. The damage came in a 9-run 2nd inning highlighted by a 3-run Luis Berumen blast (#1) and Jeremy Begley had a 2-run single. Tony Fisher also went yard again (#2) while Joe Marlette (2-0) pitched from a hammock and went 6 4 0 0 0 9. Moises Baca made his Rays debut in relief and fanned 4 over 2 scoreless innings.

The Rays took the rubber game from San Antonio, scoring in every inning but the 1st and 3rd and kept padding their lead with single runs in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th. Billy Doughty was 3-4 with a homer (#1) and 2 RBI, Danny Rodriguez went solo (#2) and Tony Fisher made it 3 homers in 3 days with a bases-empty blast in the 7th. Danny Morales went to 2-0 and is enjoying this new-found run support, going 7 6 3 2 1 3.

Team record: 6-1. The rubber will hit the road literally as we'll see if the Rays can duplicate their first-week success outside the Trop starting with 3 games at Yankee Stadium. New York is tied with Baltimore at 4-3, 2 games behind the good guys.
