Following the game, the Rays activated Gary Glover off the 15-day DL and optioned Kurt Birkins back to Durham.

There's not much more Birkins could've done, in fact I actually feel just as confident with him than Glover, but I don't make the decisions, I just whine about them.

Also, the Rays might get one-upped by Mitch Talbot, 23 straight scoreless innings thrown now.
