Gomes goes yard

Jonny Gomes helps the Rays draw first blood with a towering home run to right field.

Rays 1, Yankees 0

It was a display of power, though the power mostly belonged to Mother Nature. If this were track and field, the home run would be called “wind-aided.”

It landed in the new party deck in right field.

That was the second home run of the spring for Gomes.

Moose recovered from the home run to Gomes to strikeout the next three hitters.
