The Rays started their season nicely today with a 6-2 victory in Baltimore. Granted the Orioles aren’t going to make much noise this year but in a place where the Rays have struggled to win over the years, it all helps. James Shields got through an uncharacteristically wild first inning and got through seven to pull out the victory. Everyone contributed, the defense looked good except for Crawford early and the plate discipline looked very much improved. I’m not going to celebrate too soon here but it was nice to see a strong performance out of the gate. Now before anyone gets on my case I will give Dioner Navarro a thumbs up today. I’m not jumping on the bandwagon but Navarro looked very good in his game today hitting, throwing and fielding so I must give him some kudos since I am so hard on him. Nice game guys, keep it up.
