That sure was a fun game to listen to yesterday afternoon.

19 runs on 23 hits, five home runs, while the Rays pitching staff was perfect through seven innings and they were able to shutout the Twins.

Some notables from the game

• Alex Cobb made his spring debut and was pleased with the movement on his pitches, except his change-up. He tossed two perfect innings with two strikeouts.
• Neil Wagner was only Rays pitcher to allow a hit (three of them), while Dana Eveland, David Carpenter, Alex Colome, and Danny Faquhar were all perfect.
• Several impressive performances on the offensive side of things, Rickie Weeks and Cade Gotta both were 3-3 with a HR.
• Jake Bauers doubled and hit a grand slam. Curt Casali and Nick Franklin were the other Rays to homer.
• Corey Dickerson, Cade Gotta, Rickie Weeks, Michael McKenry, Curt Casali, Nick Franklin, and Jake Bauers all had multi-hit days
• Evan Longoria went 1-3, and also provided his usual stellar defense in his spring debut
