The Tampa Bay Devil* Rays rode strong pitching to a three game sweep of the Florida Marlins at Dolphins Stadium.
The Rays uncharacteristically struggled with their fielding during the first two games, but Rays hitters provided enough runs to swamp the Marlins.
Tampa Bay has yet to sustain a streak of good team hitting. If this series sparks such a streak then the Rays should keep pace with the Red Sox and perhaps build a lead in the wild card race.
Evan Longoria continues to impress for the Rays at third base. His hitting against the Marlins allowed him to tie for the team lead in RBIs and home runs (43 and 14, respectively).
