Highlights –
fan favorite Carlos Pena was honored before the game, after signing an honorary
contract and officially retiring earlier in the day … Tim Beckham’s two-run
homer in the bottom of the second took much of the sting out of J.J. Hardy’s
3-run blast in the top of the frame … Rays took the lead for good with 6 in the
bottom of the fifth, pounding Tyler Wilson and Chaz Roe with a single and 4
doubles, with the biggest blow a bases-clearing double by Grady Sizemore out of
the cleanup slot … Rays bullpen held the Os to one run over the final 3.1
innings to seal the win … rookie Mikie Mahtook went 5-5 with two doubles for
Tampa Bay
Other –
after fanning the first 4 batters he faced, winning pitcher Drew Smyly gave up
the 3-run homer to Hardy in the second, and was lifted after Steve Pearce
belted a 2-run shot in the sixth
