Rays Game 1 and Day 2 (MLB)

James Shields gave up three homers, but the Rays came back in the ninth inning to beat the Orioles 4-3 last night at Tropicana Field. Shields looked dominant at times, but his fastball was up too high on most of the homers. Shields scored 19 points for the Makers.

Evan Longoria hit a monster blast at 473 feet and it was only the second ball to reach the highest point at the Trop. Shoppach came up big in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a ball off the wall and Carl Crawford drove in the winning runs. Longoria scored seven points in his first game of the season.

Wandy Rodriguez looked dominant during the first five innings, but then he gave up some walks and hits in the sixth. He only scored eight points after he took the loss in his first start. The Makers will need better starts to stay in the race this year.

Howie Kendrick is hitting (3-8), but the Makers need him to run more.

Day Two Standings:

1. Martin: 161

9. Makers 115

18. Tony B's 44
