March 30: at Seattle. The Opening Day box:

It was nice to see Smith pick up where he left off from his fantastic rookie season and he was extraordinarily efficient today.

March 31: at Seattle 5-4 W (10). WP-Bautista (1-0). S-Robertson (1). Starter-Bradley (6 3 2 2 3 6). Campusano's 4th hit of the game was a 2-run single in the 10th which was big because Seattle scored the ghost runner in the bottom of the inning. Bautista blew the save coming on early in the 8th after Tanner Scott had to leave two batters in with a minor injury, giving up a homer.

April 1: at Seattle 4-6 L. LP-Pepiot (0-1, 6 4 4 3 0 3). HR-Isaac (1), Caminero (1), Westburg (1). Homers from Isaac and Caminero gave the Rays an early 3-0 but Pepiot gave it all back and one more. He and Tampa Bay were done in by Julio Rodriguez, who drove in all 6 Seattle runs with a grand slam and a 2-run double. J-Rod had also homered in the first two games.

April 2: at Seattle 4-5 L. LP-Contreras (0-1). Starter-Horton (5 4 3 3 2 5, 3 HR). HR-J.Lowe (1), P.Meadows (1). Another early lead went by the wayside as 4-1 Rays became 5-4 Seattle. Horton looked good in his Rays debut before giving up solo homers #2 and 3 in the 5th and former Ray Brandon Lowe's 2-run homer in the 6th off Contreras was the difference as middle relief looks like it might be a problem for us this year. And of course J-Rod homered again, giving him 4 in the 4 games.

Team record: 2-2. Next week: We head down the coast to play 3 in San Francisco before traveling back to St. Pete to play a 3-game home-opening series against the Yankees.

No Players of the Week were named for the short season-opening week, but J-Rod probably would have gotten the nod in the AL for going 6-16 with 4 HR and 9 RBI against the Rays, while in the NL former Ray Isaac Paredes might have won after his 3-homer game for the Giants over the weekend and his 5-14, 4 HR, 8 RBI start with his new club.
