Pirates look to even up series with Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays, who have the best record in the American League, and the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are tied for the best mark in the National League, have proven over the first month of the season that they are multidimensional.
The first game of their head-to-head series in St. Petersburg, Fla., featured the teams' pitching prowess on Tuesday, as the Rays emerged with a 4-1 win. The three-game set continues Wednesday.
