July 27, 2007 Devil Rays 6, Red Sox 1

The Red Sox make their first trip to the Trop of the season, and can't get past Jason Hammel. Hammel goes the distance despite 5 walks holding the Red Sox to only 4 hits, with the only Sox run on a Manny homerun. The Rays get 4 in the 2nd inning off Tim Wakefield, and 2 more in the 6th when Jonny Gomes rips Kyle Snyder's first pitch of the game for the 2-run homer. Not quite as much base stealing attempts as I expected with both Wake and Hammel being +9 holding runners on base, as the Rays get one steal and one for JD Drew on the Sox side. Coco Crisp and Alex Cora were both thrown out trying to steal when a 20 came up each time on the split card. What are the odds of that!!
