Quote of the day
"America loves drama. This brings it to the table. … Our job is to win ballgames and not be an episode on the Bravo Channel. We're going to try to win ballgames, and that's it."

Garza returns
Former Rays RHP Matt Garza returns to Tropicana Field for his second game as an opposing pitcher. Garza, who played for the Rays from 2008-10 and threw the club's only no-hitter, lost as a Ranger here last year. "Hasn't changed a bit," manager Joe Maddon said. "I really do like the guy a lot."
