Carl Crawford had a triple and a home run in the first inning, a first inning where Tampa Bay scored 10 runs against the Oakland Athletics. A's starter Joe Blanton only recorded one out in the first inning before being replaced by Britt Reames. "That was as fine a first inning as I've ever seen," Piniella said. "Crawford got us started. Everybody was involved. I don't remember seeing an inning like that to start a ballgame."
