Rays @ Orioles

Tampa Bay Rays @ Baltimore Orioles, June 11, 2011 at 7pm
Baltimore, MD
Final Score: Rays 7, Orioles 5

This was a big game for both teams, especially for the Rays. They lost opening day for this same pitching match-up: David Price (99mph fastball) for the Rays vs. Jeremy Guthrie (#1 starting pitcher) for the Orioles.  Neither starting pitcher got the decision.  The winning pitcher was reliever Juan Cruz (TB).  The losing pitcher was Jeremy Accardo (BAL).  Kyle Farsworth got the save. (He lives in Celebration, FL, like me).

Tampa Bays runs were scored by Jhonny Damon (2), Ben Zobrist (4) and Evan Longoria (1).  The Orioles' runs were scored by Felix Pie (2), Mark Reynolds (4), and Chris Synder. 

These are the plays of the game. BJ. Upton (TB) made an over the shoulder catch, running into the wall.  Jhonny Damon hit a double, and Ben zobrist hit a triple.  Mark Reynold's first homer....because that was WAY FAR! Just Ruggiano made a catch over the left field wall to rob J.J. Hardy of a home run. That's all for today.
