8/8 - Rays (70-45) @ Mariners (51-64): Game 2

Scott Kazmir: (6 - 5), 3.74 ERA vs. Felix Hernandez: (8 - 7), 5.17 ERA

SEATTLE -- The Rays are now on a five game winning streak, taking game two of this four game set in Seattle. The Mariners scored all three of their runs before the Rays scored at all. Raul Ibanez knocked in the first run in the fourth with an RBI single, and the Mariners scored another in the same inning on an RBI single by Adrian Beltre. Ibanez struck again in the fixth with a solo shot to extend the lead to three. The Rays scored their first run in the seventh with Carl Crawford on third, a wild pitch allowed him to score from third. Then in the eighth, they narrowed the lead to one on an RBI single by Carlos Pena. Finally, with two outs and a runner on in the top of the ninth, Rocco Baldelli belted a come-from-behind two-run homer to give the Rays a one run lead. Troy Percival closed it out in the bottom of the ninth to complete the win.
