The only run scored came in the second when Steven Souza Jr. and Brad Miller singled to open the inning. Adeiny Hechavarria then grounded into a 6-4-3 double play but the Rays challenged, and the call was overturned to leave runners at first and third with one out. Porcello then hit Shane Peterson to load the bases for Jesus Sucre, who seized the moment by delivering a sacrifice fly to center that scored Souza Jr. and put the Rays up 1-0.
