Kazmir Spins Gem for Tampa Bay
Scott Kazmir never let Toronto get something going. The Tampa Bay left-hander commanded his changeup in pitching the Rays to a 2-0 win. Tampa Bay is in 4th place in the American League Eastern Division with a record of 60-70.

Kazmir, who was born in Houston, Texas, delivered a quality start for Tampa Bay. The 6-foot-0 left-hander allowed no earned runs on 5 hits over 8 innings of work.

"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Kazmir.
