ST. PETERBURG -- The Rays have won game three of this four game series against the Royals in Tampa Bay. The Rays came up with four runs in the fourth on a Carl Crawford RBI single, followed by a three-run blast off the bat of Cliff Floyd. In the fifth inning, Eric Hinske blasted a lead-off home run, his first of the season. B.J. Upton picked up an RBU later in the inning on a sacrifice fly scoring Jason Bartlett from third, and Carlos Pena capped off a three-run fifth with a solo home run. Andy Sonnanstine was dominant, taking a perfect game into the sixth that was broken up by Miguel Olivo with a line drive down the left field line off the glove of the diving Evan Longoria, ruled a hit. The Royals finally got on the board in the seventh with a two-run homer off the bat of Jose Guillen, but that didn't bother Andy Sonnanstine as he went the distance for a two-run, three-hit complete game.
