Rays excelling in Orlando

Apr 24, 2008 - 2:50 PM Toronto (10-12) at Tampa Bay (10-11) 7:10 pm EDT

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida (Ticker) - The Tampa Bay Rays might want to consider playing at Disney's Wide World of Sports permanently.

The Rays go for a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays when the teams meet in the series finale on Thursday.

After sweeping the Texas Rangers during a three-game series in Orlando last season, Tampa Bay returned here for the series against the Blue Jays and promptly improved its record to 5-0 at the 9,500-seat venue with two come-from-behind victories.

The Rays handed the Blue Jays their third straight loss on Wednesday, erasing a three-run deficit by scoring four runs in the sixth inning off Roy Halladay en route to a 5-3 triumph.

Dustin McGowan (1-1, 3.38 ERA) tries to get Toronto back on track when he toes the rubber on Wednesday.

The righthander allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings, picking up his first win in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Detroit Tigers.

Andy Sonnanstine (2-1, 5.55 ERA) counters for Tampa Bay and is coming off a shutout, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out four during Saturday's 5-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.
