The Tampa Bay Rays started off maybe their most optimistic season in 11 years with a convincing 6-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The Rays used a solid seven inning effort from starter James Shields and a home run by newly acquired Eric Hinske to sink the Orioles.
Defense played a large part in the victory as shortstop Jason Bartlett and second baseman Aki Iwamura made several inning changing plays.
The remade bullpen finished the game with 2 scoreless innings with Dan Wheeler completing the last inning. The Rays continue the series with Baltimore on Wednesday. Matt Garza will be on the mound for the Rays.
