The victory was only the fourth on the road for the Devil Rays since July 1.

at Chicago 4, Cleveland 3: Roberto Hernandez hit A.J. Pierzynski with a pitch with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, forcing in the winning run for the White Sox’s first victory. Chicago starter Mark Buehrle left in the second inning when he was hit in the left forearm by Ryan Garko’s line drive. X-rays were negative. Bobby Jenks pitched 1 1/3 innings for the victory. Cleveland’s Grady Sizemore hit a leadoff homer to become the first Indians player to homer in each of the first three games of the season.

Boston 4, at Kansas City 1: Daisuke Matsuzaka struck out 10 in seven innings in his major league debut. He gave up six hits, including a sixth-inning homer by David DeJesus.
