Devil Rays Bag 3-2 Win
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays did just enough to sneak past the New York Yankees, 3-2, at Yankee Stadium. Tampa Bay pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, in particular, had a standout performance. Zimmermann, the winner, moves to 1-0. He threw 8 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 2 walks. New York is now 3-2.

Stephen Drew, who finished 2nd in the AL in triples with 9 in 2005, had a direct impact on the outcome. Drew contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 3-2.

"We put some tough at-bats on some tough pitches," said Tampa Bay manager Brenton S.
