Luis Garcia, Astros stop Rays' 14-game home winning streak

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Luis Garcia scattered three hits over six innings and the Houston Astros ended the Tampa Bay Rays' 14-game season-opening home winning streak, 5-0 on Tuesday night.

Only three teams had a longer run than the Rays, who are 20-4 overall.

"It was a little weird," Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said of the first home loss. "Walking in there [the clubhouse] with no music or anything like that, but I'm guessing they'll get the music back on soon."

The 1880 Chicago White Stockings, who became the Cubs, hold the MLB record for the longest season-opening home streak with 21.
