The Tampa Bay Rays were unable to get much offense going against Jarrod Washburn and the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night. The Rays were only able to push across a run in the 3rd inning as they went onto to lose 7-1.
Andy Sonnanstine struggled in his six innings of pitching as he allowed four earned runs on seven hits. J.P. Howell came in as relief and didn’t fare to much better as he let three runs score (two earned) in only 1.2 innings. Jae Kuk Ryu pitched the final 1.1 innings and did not allow a hit. Ryu had just got called up before the game from the minor leagues.
The Rays lone run came off the bat of Akinori Iwamura who hit a sac fly.
