Guest of the day

Retired 1B/OF Chris Duncan, right, younger brother of Rays DH/OF Shelley Duncan, is in town from St. Louis for the weekend series. Shelley said it's special because they've rarely gotten to see each other play during their big-league careers. Said Shelley: "We've always said we're more nervous watching each other than actually playing."

Quote of the day

"I can still ride a bus."

RHP Brandon Gomes, joking about what he learned during a three-day stay at Triple-A Durham before getting called up Friday
