PORT CHARLOTTE -- The Rays have kicked off the 2009 Spring Training with a victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Jason Bartlett got the Rays on the board in the third with a two-run homer. Ken Griffey, Jr. narrowed that lead to one in the fourth with an RBI single, but Carlos Pena got that run back in the bottom of the inning with a solo homer, and Willy Aybar added another immediately following with his own solo shot to go back-to-back. Carl Crawford knocked in the Rays' fifth run in the sixth with an RBI single. The Rays then scored three in the seventh, only one of them on a hit; A fielder's choice allowed Rocco Baldelli to score from third, Charlton Jimerson came up with an RBI single, and shortstop Great Johnson allowed a ball to get by him with the bases loaded to score another. The Reds scored three in the ninth to narrow the lead to four; Adam Dunn belted a solo homer, Scott Hatteberg hit into a sacrifice groundout to score a runner from third, and David Ross came through with an RBI single, all off of the Rays possible 2009 closer Dan Wheeler, but that outing may affect whether he gets the job or not.
