+ Game Two against the Astros and the Rays attempt to even the series at a game apiece.

+ The Rays have just two left-handed swingers (Iwamura and Crawford) in the lineup against lefty Rodriguez.

+ Catcher Dioner Navarro gets a night off with a day game tomorrow.

+ It's 80s night and the Astros are wearing the orange and yellow numbers that J.R. Richard somehow still looked tough in. The Rays are decked out in pin-striped Pelicans unis from the old senior league.

+ Kool & the Gang will perform after the game. So apparently it's ladies night, and the feelin's right.
