Not great...
The Rays wasted a brilliant outing from Cy Young-elect
Joe Marlette and lost their ALDS opener to the Yankees 2-1.
DeMarcus Evans, not the paragon of effectiveness after coming over from Cleveland, gave up the winner in the 9th on a single, steal and another single but the real culprit tonight was the league-leading offense which was impotent outside of a 2nd-inning
Kelly Crumpton solo homer. They had the bases loaded in the 6th and couldn't score, and
Cristian Hernandez led off with a double in the 7th but couldn't be brought home. So now
Kevin DiCostanzo will try to keep us from falling into a near-fatal 0-2 hole tomorrow.
