Yesterday afternoon, the Tampa Bay Rays picked up their first victory of the spring, thanks in large part to a 10 run eighth inning onslaught. The 10 run barrage was highlighted by a three run home run from Jesus Sanchez. Christian Arroyo also homered during the inning, Nate Lowe provided a double.

Brandon Lowe and Kevin Kiermaier (first game back after dealing with an injured foot), both doubled as well.
