At Tropicana Field, the home crowd witnessed an intense matchup where the Rays struggled to find their rhythm. Despite a strong start by Ryan Pepiot, who now holds a record of 1-2 after this game, Tampa Bay couldn't contain San Francisco's offense. The Giants accumulated a total of 13 hits throughout the game and capitalized on every opportunity to score runs in multiple innings.

Their pitching staff ended with an overall ERA of 11.0 and WHIP of 2.1111 for this contest. On offense, Tampa Bay managed eight hits but left seven runners on base and hit into two double plays which stifled potential rallies.
