ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays have ended the month of May on a high note with their thirty-ninth victory of the season. The White Sox scored first in the top of the first with a Paul Konerko RBI single scoring Nick Swisher, but that would be the only offense the White Sox would get. The Rays tied the game up in the sixth when Evan Longoria hit an RBI single scoring Jason Bartlett, and taking the lead in the seventh when Jason Bartlett hit an RBI triple scoring Rocco Baldelli. The Rays scored once more in the eighth with a lead-off solo blast to center field by B.J. Upton. Rays starting pitcher James Shields pitched great, going seven innings, giving up the one White Sox run in the first on six hits and striking out three for the win. The offensive story of this game was Jason Bartlett going 3-3 with a single, double, and RBI triple, coming a homer shy of the cycle, but did not get a fourth at-bat.
Final Score:
White Sox: 1
Rays: 3
WP - James Shields (3-2) | LP - Mark Buehrle (6-2) | SV - Troy Percival (17)
HR:
B.J. Upton - Rays (20)
