"There was nothing I could do," Colome said. "If I can get through six innings, five innings, I think I do all I can do to do my job.
"... Six good innings. If they give me the chance to go one more I do it. But if not, there's nothing I can do. You can only do the innings they want."
Rays manager Kevin Cash called it a "well pitched ballgame on both sides."
"We talked about Alex building off something, getting through that last inning against Anaheim [when Colome escaped a bases-loaded jam with no runs scoring]," Cash said.
