The Tampa Bay Rays used a great performance from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Tylor Megill to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1, at Tropicana Field. Megill, now 1-0, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 3, walking 0, and allowing no runs. Yennier Cano collected save number 2.

Jake Bauers had a critical at-bat with no one out in the bottom of the eighth for Tampa Bay. He came through with a run-scoring single to put Tampa Bay in front, 2-0.

"We leaned on our pitching tonight," Bauers said.

The defeat makes Pittsburgh 1-4.
