Kevin Gausman matched Archer through four innings before surrendering an RBI double to Curt Casali in the fifth. Gausman, who began the season on the disabled list with a shoulder problem, took the loss in his 2016 debut.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Clutch Casali: In a game where both starting pitchers were stingy with runs, Casali came up with the big hit. The Rays' catcher doubled to left off Gausman with two outs in the fifth to drive home Steven Souza Jr. from first base and stake Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead. He later took one for the team when Vance Worley nipped him with two outs and the bases loaded in the sixth to force home the Rays' second run.
Gausman debuts: The Orioles righty, reinstated from the disabled list prior to the game, lit up the radar gun early in his debut. With a fastball clocked as high as the triple digits, Gausman kept the Rays off the board until his final inning. Gausman struck out seven in the 91-pitch performance.
