CHICAGO -- The Rays have won two in a row, taking game one of a three game series in Chicago against the White Sox behind a VERY strong start by Scott Kazmir. Evan Longoria knocked in the first run in the first with an RBI single, and the Rays added two more in the sixth on a Carlos Pena RBI double, and two-run shot off the bat of Carl Crawford. As said before, Scott Kazmir was amazing in his start today; a complete game two-hit shutout.
