They all won't be this easy...
Danny Charlton had a disappointing season by his standards but if he keeps on hitting in the postseason like he did today nobody will remember or care. The slugging first-sacker was 4-5 with a double, 2 homers and 3 RBI to lead the Rays to a Game 1 rout of the Twins. His first-inning double was an important response to Minnesota drawing first blood in the top of the inning and his solo homer in the 3rd kick-started a 5-run inning that blew the game open. His pair of dingers were two of the five the Rays had on the day as they showed the Twins they mean business, while one of our many other Dannys (Morales) settled down after that shaky first to pitch 6 brilliant innings.
Gabe Bryant will toe the rubber in Game 2 tomorrow.
