A good start...
In a lineup of feared sluggers and superstars Chris Parham was the surprise offensive hero tonight as his sac fly gave the Rays the lead to stay in the 2nd and his 2-run homer in the 4th proved the difference as the Rays took a tough 4-2 win over the Angels to open their ALDS. Luis Barela also homered, his 15th career postseason dinger, and Greg Bookhart won his 21st game of the year despite walking 4. The bullpen was outstanding with three relievers throwing perfect innings and the fourth Steve Falcon pitching around a couple of hits in the 9th. Dave Rose will try to make it 2-0 Rays tomorrow.
