KANSAS CITY -- The Rays have lost the second game in this four game set in an exciting extra innings game. Just as in yesterday's game, the Rayts scored a run in the first, Akinori Iwamura scoring from third on fielder's choice on a ground ball hit by Evan Longoria. Randy Wolf would then dominate the Rays the rest of the game. The Royals tied it up in the seventh with a solo homer off the bat of Jose Guillen. Carlos Pena finally broke the tie in the eleventh with a solo blast, but in the bottom of the inning, with two outs and a runner on, Ross Gload belted a walk-off two run homer off Rays closer Troy Percival to win the game.
