Riggans, Brignac, victory

Rays win! Rays win! Theeeeee Rays win!

The Rays scored a run in the ninth for a 10-9 victory over the Reds here at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota.

That’s their 15th of the spring, the most-ever by a Rays team in spring training.

Shawn Riggans doubled and scored on a double by Reid Brignac for the winning run.

Eduardo Morlan, the right-hander acquired in the trade that brought Garza and Bartlett from Minnesota, pitched the ninth. He walked two and struck out two and earned the save.

The Rays return to action Monday against Pittsburgh at Al Lang Stadium.

John Lembo will be your blogger for that game. So log on to Rays Live on Monday for all the action plus Lembo’s take on ’80s Hair Bands and why he thinks “Rocky IV” is the “Citizen Kane” of his generation.

This Roger Mooney wishing you a Happy Easter.
