Cincinnati got a decent performance from pitcher Johnny Vander Meer, but it wasn't enough to beat the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa Bay won the Great American Ball Park contest, 6-5. Vander Meer threw 5.2 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Tampa Bay reliever Dan Wheeler was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Eppa Rixey took the loss. The Reds, now 4-8, continue their inauspicious start.

Julio Lugo helped out the Tampa Bay cause in the top of the sixth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the shortstop went 2-4 with 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI.

"Good, gritty kind of win," said Rays manager .
