Rain Delay! The Last Five - #77 of 81
Tampa Bay refused to get swept and had the lead against a black-eyed A.J. Burnett from the first inning. The rain delay in the third, lasting two hours and twelve minutes, mercifully ended his night and opened the door to the Yankee debut of my new BFF Royce Ring. Ring had a 1-2-3 inning, striking out his first two batters. Lance Berkman hit his first home run as a Yankee to put them on the board, so can we all start calling him Big Puma again? One run down, Dustin Moseley gave up back to back home runs to Carl Crawford and Evan Longoria in the seventh. Rays hammered in a few more later, final score 7-2 Rays.
Alex Rodriguez also received gifts for his milestone 600th home run and 300 stolen bases. The security guard who retrieved the home run ball was awarded a crystal trophy and $10,000. That's a nice day at work!
Tonight, David Price vs. CC Sabathia will challenge the fastest game played in Florida Marlins history (1 hour and 52 minutes), with complete games by both and at least one home run to determine the winner.
