A balk gives the Devil Rays a 1-0 win

The two teams combined for just 8 hits and 1 walk. Damon Hollins and Raul Ibanez had the only two extra base hits of the game, each with a double. it's no surprise that the final score was a measily 1-0 with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays coming out on top of the Seattle Mariners.

The only run of the game came when Jamie Moyer, a 43 year old veteran in his 20th year of major league baseball, balked with Toby Hall standing on third base. Moyer went 8 innings in the tough loss. Scott Kazmir got the win with 7 scoreless innings, striking out 9. Tyler Walker worked the 9th for his 4th save.

Wow, that sucks for Moyer. Seattle could've really used a win to try and get themselves rolling on the right track. Tough loss.

Kazmir was sick yesterday. Looks like he is keeping his walks under control.

hey it was a good game overall so balk are a small mistake that should have happened but it did. You gotta give credit to both pitchers for making the game so exciting
