Chris Gimenez clubbed a two-run homer and lofted a sacrifice fly, as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins, 7-2, in Grapefruit League action.

Kelly Johnson doubled home a pair for the Rays, while David Price held the Twins to one hit and struck out five over three scoreless innings.

Trevor Plouffe and Mark Sobolewski each knocked in a run for Minnesota. Starter Mike Pelfrey pitched well in his outing, allowing one hit in three shutout frames.

    Mets lose to Braves when suspended game resumes

    In the 42 minutes it took to complete a suspended game, the New York Mets didn't do a whole lot well. They popped up a key bunt, pitched poorly and lost their seventh straight at Citi Field.

  • Royals' free-fall deepens in 7-0 loss to Angels

    At some point, as the Royals know better than perhaps any professional franchise in American sports, you hit bottom and things start to get better. (Maybe not a lot better, but better.)

  • Orioles' bats too hot for Blue Jays

    Given the way the Orioles and Blue Jays have been scoring runs over the past three days here at the hitter-friendly Rogers Centre, both teams realize winning is just a matter of outlasting their opponent offensively.
