03/28/2006
Pirates at the plate: Cleanup hitter Jason Bay went 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI to improve his Grapefruit League batting average to .464. Nate McLouth, Craig Wilson and Jose Castillo had two hits apiece in helping to lead the Bucs to their second win in the last nine games.
Devil Rays at the plate: Carl Crawford put Tampa Bay on the board with a two-run double to left field in the sixth inning. Jorge Cantu followed with a two-run home run to center field, his first of the spring.
Pirates on the mound: Southpaw Paul Maholm blanked the Devil Rays on one hit through the first five innings. However, he struggled with his command in the sixth. After walking the first two batters of the frame on nine pitches, Maholm surrendered a two-run double to Crawford and was lifted from the game. Closer Mike Gonzalez tossed a scoreless ninth for his first save.
Devil Rays on the mound: Opening Day starter Scott Kazmir struggled in his final outing of the spring. The hard-throwing southpaw allowed seven runs (four earned) on 11 hits and two walks and struck out six in 4 1/3 innings. In his final three Grapefruit League starts, Kazmir was charged with 15 runs (12 earned) in 7 2/3 innings.
Grapefruit League records: Pirates 15-13-1; Devil Rays 11-13
