Tropicana Field hosted a real pitchers' duel.

The Tampa Bay Rays got a magnificent effort from pitcher Grant Holmes, who kept Pittsburgh hitters in check en route to a 2-0 Rays win at Tropicana Field. Pittsburgh falls to 1-5.

Zach McKinstry had a big solo home run for the Rays in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Tampa Bay leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he got a changeup from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Bailey Ober and swatted a home run to left. It was his 1st home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rays ahead, 2-0.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Holmes said.
