WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Alex Rios robbed Carlos Pena of a Homerun!
 
Third baseman Evan Longoria smashed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Tropicana
Field as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago (AL) Whitesox by the count of 5
to 2.
 
Longoria was spectacular at the plate.  The hometown fans showed their
appreciation with a standing ovation his last time at bat.  He cracked a
two-run shot in the 1st inning, lost the ball over the fence for three runs
in the 3rd inning and delivered a base-hit in the 8th inning.  Tampa Bay
finished with 9 hits while Chicago (AL) ended up with 5.  
 
Jeremy Hellickson(1-0) was the winner allowing 2 runs in 7 innings. Hellickson
got help from Joel Peralta who was credited with his 1st save.  Chris
Sale(0-2) absorbed the loss.  His ERA increased from 3.86 to 5.54 as he
allowed 5 runs in 6 innings.  
 
'Actually, I didn't feel that comfortable at the plate today' Longoria said
after the game.  'Despite that, I'm happy with the results!

Evan Longoria rocketed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI at US Cellular Field where the

at their team's expense.  He hit a bases-empty home run in the 1st inning,
delivered a single plating a run in the 2nd inning, stroked a one-base hit in
the 4th inning and blasted a solo shot in the 6th inning.  Tampa Bay had 14

Rodney earned his 1st save.  Philip Humber(0-1) was the loser.  He was
touched for 3 homeruns in his 3 and 1/3 innings of work.

First baseman Prince Fielder had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Justin Verlander
carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning as the Detroit Tigers bested the
Chicago (AL) Whitesox 3 to 0 at Comerica Park.
 
Verlander(1-0) pitched one of his finer games as he simply was too much for
the Chicago (AL) batters.  He allowed only 4 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.
Verlander recorded 10 strikeouts.  The right-handed Verlander lost a
no-hitter when Gordon Beckham doubled with two outs in the 6th inning.
Detroit rapped out 7 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Chris Sale(0-1) was charged with the loss.  Craig Lombardi was obviously
impressed with the pitching of Verlander, 'That guy made us look a little
silly out there this afternoon.  We just couldn't get to him at all -
everything was working for him.  I just hope that he got that kinda
performance out of his system.'
