ST. PETERSBURG -- Things went from bad to worse for Grady Sizemore on Saturday night as he pinch-hit in the eighth inning of the Rays' 2-1 loss to the Orioles.
Sizemore narrowly missed hitting a game-tying home run when he drove the first offering he saw from Baltimore submariner Darren O'Day just outside the right-field foul pole. One pitch later, the veteran outfielder was forced to leave the game when he took an O'Day slider off the left knee.
Sizemore was listed as day to day after the game, but he assured reporters that he would be ready to go on Sunday.
