Opening Day (Inning Three)

Top of the Third:
*Guthrie starts out by giving up a single to right by Dionar Navarro.
*And follows it up by hitting Jason Bartlett. Runners on first and second.
*Awesome! Iwamura bloops one over Roberts, but Markakis is able to throw to second to force Bartlett. Runners on the corners with one out, but it could have been worse.
*And the Rays have their first run as Melvin Mora can't handle the slow roller by Crawford.
*The offense continues as Carlos Pena singles to right field to load the bases.
*Now the Rays are up 3-2 as Upton gets ahead in the count 2-0 and singles past a diving Luis Hernandez.
*Floyd flies out to to Jones in center - two out.

[I was told to mention that I am in fact watching these games on two televisions.]

*Luke Scott catches the low liner to end the inning. It was a rough one for Guthrie - no one hit the ball that hard, but he was unlucky and they fell in.

[Arizona is up 3-0 on Cincinnati - apparently on a pair of home runs.]

Bottom of the Third:
*B-Rob hits a single to center to lead-off the inning.
*Mora pops out to center - one down.
*KAKES! Good eye - takes a pitch outside for ball one. 3-0 count. Gets a pitch in the middle of the plate and hits a fly ball to center . It looks like the ball isn't carrying well today.
*Millar flies out to end the frame.

[7-2 Indians ahead of the Pale Hose, but it sounds like Victor Martinez may be hurt.]
