Friday Night = .500

In what seemed like a throwback to last year.  A journeyman left-handed pitcher handled the Rays lineup pretty well. Except for a 1st inning Evan Longoria, the Rays could muster nothing against former Ray Mark Hendrickson.  Then it all seemed to be coming together when the Orioles were forced to make a pitching change for Pat Burrell.  They go to Danys Baez... who not only strikes out Burrell but sits down 3 other Rays on strike outs.

Evan Longoria continued his early season hot streak with 2 homers. It just wasn't enough and the Rays lose 5-4. At some point, the Rays are going to have to figure out how to score some runs outside of the long ball.
