Rays Lose to Yankees, 6-3
Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium was the site of the home opener for the Tampa Bay Rays. The contest featured a prime matchup between Dave Linkous of the visiting New York Yankees and Dean Thomas of the Rays. The final score was 6-3, the Yankees getting the win. Dave Linkous turned in the best performance. Jon Barton was called on to finish, recording his 1st save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ryan McCullough? The New York left fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Yankees on top, 1-0. For the game, McCullough had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"This kind of win will certainly make our fans happy," Linkous told the New York Daily.
