OAKLAND -- The Rays have won game one of their American League Division Series against the Athletics with a comeback win. The first two runs of the game were solo homers off the bat of Jack Cust; one in the fifth breaking up James Shields' perfect game, and another in the seventh to go up by two, but the Rays fought back with a huge five-run eighth inning. Carl Crawford knocked in the first run with an RBI double. Dioner Navarro then got an RBI single to tie it up, Rocco Baldelli came up with an RBI single to take the lead, and Akinori Iwamura capped it off with a huge two-run single. The Athletics made one last attempt in the ninth when Eric Chavez belted a lead-off homer, but Troy Percival came on and closed them out.
