Rays, Astros Play 12 to Settle Game 1, Tampa Bay Now Leads Series 1-0
One game in and the League Championship Series is already looking exhausting.

The Tampa Bay Rays and the Houston Astros needed 12 innings to settle Game 1, with the Rays finally taking the 7-5 victory at Minute Maid Park. Excelling in the win was Tampa Bay starting pitcher Daniel Rapp, who threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The Rays and Astros are playing a best-of-7 series.

Tampa Bay used the clutch hitting of Chris Benitez to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Rays ahead, 7-4. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"It was a good day but I'm not letting my guard down," Benitez said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
