ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays have opened up August with a victory over the Tigers. The Rays scored the times in the first off Justin Verlander with RBI singles by Carl Crawford, Cliff Floyd, and Dioner Navarro. In the seventh, Jason Bartlett, who's been showing some power lately, belted his third homer of the season, extending the lead to four. Nomo, who had been dominating the Tigers all game, was taken out during a slightly shaky eighth inning in which the Tigers scored two runs on RBI doubles hit by Ivan Rodriguez and Brandon Inge, narrowing the lead to two, but the Rays hang on and beat them.
