After a disappointing first two games to start the series, the Rays looked to even the home-stand record at 3-3 and not get swept by the Mariners.
Charlie Morton took the mound for the Rays, hoping to help put the team back in the win column. The Mariners used opener Cory Gearrin before bulk guy Wade LeBlanc took over in the second inning.
Tommy Pham started this game off with a leadoff walk, stealing both second and third base after getting on. Travis d’Arnaud drove Pham home with a sacrifice fly to our old friend Mallex Smith in right field, giving the Rays a 1-0 lead.
