Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Tampa Bay Rays and San Francisco Giants.

The Tampa Bay Rays picked up a win at AT&T Park, knocking off the San Francisco Giants, 4-2. Starting pitcher Matt Waldron played a key role in the triumph. Waldron picked up the win for Tampa Bay, going 7 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 2-0. Drew Smith earned the save, his 18th in 19 tries.

It could have been a different outcome for Tampa Bay, had it not been for J.P. Crawford, the 28-year old shortstop . Crawford contributed a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put Tampa Bay up, 2-0.

In postgame comments to the Tampa Bay Herald, Crawford said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."

Tampa Bay raised its record to 63-60 with the win.
