Chris Sampson: (4 - 4), 4.96 ERA vs. Scott Kazmir: (6 - 1), 4.30 ERA

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays interleague play continues opening a three game home series against the Houston Asros with a loss, and this game was all homers. Kazuo Matsui hit the first homer in the top of the fourth to give the Astros a one run lead, but Carlos Pena hit his own solo homer in the bottom of the inning to tie it up. Astros hit two more solo shots in the seventh off the bats of Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence, and that would be all they need to win.

Final Score:
Astros: 3
Rays: 1
