Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
How about those Rays? The team never trailed, beating the Colorado Rockies 6-4 at Steinbrenner Field on Sunday. Brandon Lowe hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the first, and Jonathan Aranda scored when Junior Caminero hit a single up the middle to give the Rays the lead for good at 3-2 and spark a four-run bottom of the sixth inning. The Rays are now one of three teams, including the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels, in MLB with three quality starts in the first three games of the season. Not a bad start after all the stadium turmoil.
