Game 1: Not a lot of offense in this game but the Rays didn't that much of it to take a 4-1 win over the Angels. Jorge Barraza (8-8) is on a mini-roll, pitching well again at 6 3 1 1 3 7 for the win and the pen did its job with Devin Tadlock fanning a pair in a 1-2-3 9th for his 16th save. Ryan Rivera's 2-run single in the 5th was his biggest hit as a Ray so far and Rodrigo Aponte gave Tampa Bay needed insurance with a 2-run blast (#7) in the 9th.

Game 2: Runs were at a premium once again and like last night that didn't faze Tampa Bay as Dave Rose and three relievers combined for a 2-0 shutout win. Rose improved to 13-2, 2.44 even though he wasn't his sharpest, going 6 6 0 0 4 8 and Devin Tadlock saved again (#17). The Angels threatened almost the entire game, leaving 12 men on base, but Rays hurlers made the big pitch when needed. As a result RBI singles in the 2nd by Alex Brown and Angel Gonzales held up for the duration.

Game 3: And Tampa Bay completed the sweep thanks to yet another strong pitching performance, taking the finale 4-2 from LA. They trailed 2-0 after 6 before Joel Bland's 2-run double in the 7th tied it, and then in the 8th Angel Gonzales singled in the go-ahead run and Paul Mayes doubled in an insurance run in the 9th. Steve Swords started and went 6 4 2 2 0 5, blemished only by a pair of solo homers, Victor Boria (4-0) got the win in relief, and Jake Cid closed it out for his 6th save.

Team record: 61-30, now the best record in MLB and now 9 1/2 up on the Yankees so the division is pretty much in hand at the All-Star break barring the mother of all collapses. Next up: The break followed by 4 at home against Baltimore starting Thursday.
