Game 1: The Rays scored early and often and went on to take the opener from the Angels 8-4. The offense primarily flowed through three hitters who combined to go 9-14 with 2 HR and 7 RBI: Jesus Avalos, who finally homered for the first time this year in Game #23, a 3-run blast, and drove in 4; Angel Gonzales, 3-4 with 2 RBI; and Jordan Sailes, who was 4-5 with a double and a solo homer (#2). Elijah Whitaker (2-1) wasn't great again at 5.1 6 4 4 1 6 but picked up the win, and Devin Tadlock earned his first save of 2058, cleaning up a mess created by Manny Lopez in the 9th.

Game 2: Tampa Bay dropped a tough one to LA, falling 3-2 despite having several chances to tie or go ahead. Victor Boria failed to win for the first time in 5 starts but stayed undefeated with a no-decision after a performance that was dominant and not-dominant at times, finishing 5 7 2 2 0 10. The winning run came in the 6th off Joe Rose (1-1) after Jesus Avalos had tied the game in the 5th on a 2-run shot, his second of the year and in as many days.

Game 3: The bullpen was the culprit as the Rays lost the rubber game of the series 5-4 to the Angels in 10 innings. Tampa Bay took a 4-3 lead into the 9th but Bill Sutherland blew the save when he allowed a 2-out homer to tie it, and then Jake Cid (2-2) gave up a one-out triple to allow the losing run in the 10th. This after the Rays fought back from a 3-1 deficit caused by a shaky Julio Mattila start (4.1 6 3 3 4 2) thanks in large part to Jordan Sailes' 2-run homer (#3) as the rookie continues to impress filling in for the injured Joel Bland.

Team record: 15-10. New York took 2 of 3 to push the Rays 1 1/2 games back in the division. Next up: After an off day those Yankees visit Publix Park for a big early 3-game series.
