Rays 2-0 after 3

The Rays strike first.

Singles from Shawn Riggans, Adam Kennedy and Justin Ruggiano off Tom Gorzelanny in the bottom of the third loaded the bases for Carl Crawford.

C.C. forced Ruggiano at second while Riggans scored the first run of the game.

Crawford stole second with Gape Kapler at the plate, but the move to scoring position didn't pay off. Jose Tabata threw CC out at the plate on Kapler's hard-hit single to left field.

Kennedy scored easily on Kapler's bingle, and that's where we stand heading into the fourth: Rays 2, Pirates 0.

Matt Garza has allowed three hits in his first three innings.
