ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays have won the final game of this series, and their final home game before the All-Star break. The Royals jumped on Garza early in the first, scoring all three of their runs. Jose Guillen hit a two-run double, and Ross Gload an RBI single, to take a very early three run lead. Carl Crawford got the Rays on the board in the second with a lead-off home run, as he would have a big day. In the fifth inning, B.J. Upton narrowed the lead to one run with an RBI double. In the sixth, Carl Crawford who already had a home run in this game, belted an RBI triple to tie the game at three. Crawford came within a double of the cycle, but couldn't get it. Right after Crawford's triple, Cliff Floyd knocked him in with an RBI single, and the Rays win by one, taking three of this four game series.
