At Tropicana Field, the Tampa Bay fans witnessed a great pitcher's duel.
Cliff Lee(2-0) finally bested his Tampa Bay opposite, Chad Billingsley(0-2),
by the score of 1 to 0.

Billingsley gave up the game's only run when Minnesota scored in the top of
the 7th inning. Tampa Bay had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came
up short.

Bobby Jenks recorded the save, his 1st. Despite losing John Ramsey was
optimistic after the game. 'We'll get over this one. Sometimes the breaks
fall your way, sometimes they don't. Any one of a dozen little things go
different, and we come out on top.'

Bay had 4.

Chad Billingsley(0-1) was the loser. He was hit hard and gave up 11 hits and

good fastball, I felt I could throw it by everybody tonight.'
