Rays

Pitchers to face Coors fear factor
SAN FRANCISCO -- As if their pitchers aren't having enough problems, the Rays next go to Coors Field, where fly balls turn into home runs and base hits seem to drop from the sky.

SCOUTING REPORT: Because of where they play and how they play, the Rockies often look a lot like an American League team. They usually pile up inflated offensive numbers at Coors Field, the result of the spaciousness of the park and the altitude, and their pitching numbers spike as well. Storing baseballs in a humidor is supposed to make them heavier and help balance things a bit, though the Rockies and Yankees just combined for 70 runs in three games.
Rays are at their most embarrassing
Atrocious defense helps keep Tanyon Sturtze winless in what Hal McRae calls team's worst game, a 10-2 loss to the Giants.
