There was a rumor floating around here that Aki might be drilled with Ian Kennedy’s first pitch, but it didn’t happen. Instead, he ripped to first base, where Duncan speared it and stepped on the bag without incident.

Jason Bartlett singled to left, advanced to second on a wild pitch and stole third.

B.J. Upton was caught looking.

Cliff Floyd draws a walk.

Rays have a chance to do some damage, first and third, two out and Willy Aybar at the plate.

Aybar turns on a 2-0 fastball but lines it right at Wilson Betemit.

No runs, one hit, no punches and two left on base.
