Oof...
All the ingredients were there: the Rays jumped out to a 4-1 lead against Memphis ace Josh Johnson and they had their own on the mound in
Joe Marlette. But Marlette ran into trouble in the 5th, giving up the tying runs, and then lefty
Jamie Arnold came in and gave up a 3-run homer to a lefty batter, and that was all she wrote. Also lefty
Ken Battle came in and gave up a 3-run homer to lefty as well to truly put it out of reach, so another bad game for the bullpen. Young lefty
Leo Gutierrez will get the ball in Game 2, and the pressure will be on him to avoid a trip to Memphis down 0-2.
