It was a beautiful Saturday for baseball, but oh boy did the Rays struggle to get runs in.
Our pitching matchup for the day saw Antonio Senzatela on the mound for the Rockies, up against Zack Littell for the Rays. Littell had a much better day overall in terms of limiting baserunners, but the box score is almost all that counts, so even though Senzatela had a rougher start, the Rays just weren’t able to take advantage of all their baserunners early on.
Littell got the first three Rockies out in order to start the first. In the bottom of the inning Junior Caminero got a two-out single, then Jonathan Aranda doubled.
