One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fourth, when designated hitter Raúl Ruíz hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Artie Grant and made the score 1-0, Rays. Ruíz was 2 for 4 with 2 singles, while scoring 2 times.

"We've got guys willing to do what it takes to win," Ruíz told the Tampa Bay News.
