Tigers Over Rays in Series Opener

Game 77 vs. TB

This game represents a microcosm of the Rays' season. David Price (5-7) had a lead, yet failed to maintain it. He only went 3 and 2/3 innings, after giving up 5 runs.

Josh Beckett wasn't necessarily better. He struggled with command, and when you combine that with a patient lineup, it leads to only 6 innings of work.

The bullpen only gave up 1 hit behind him; the offense picked up Beckett's slack.

Cabrera and Jones played long ball. Prince Fielder went 4-5.
