AMERICAN LEAGUE

Rays 4, Orioles 3

Carl Crawford drove in two runs with a bases-loaded double in the ninth inning to give the Tampa Bay a season-opening victory over Baltimore at St. Petersburg, Fla.

Adam Jones, Luke Scott and Matt Wieters homered for the Orioles, who were unable to put the game away because of a lack of timely hitting with runners in scoring position.

Evan Longoria homered in the sixth for the Rays, who loaded the bases in the ninth against Baltimore's new closer, Michael Gonzalez, with a single, double and an intentional walk. Crawford lined a 1-0 pitch into right field, driving in the winning runs before a sellout crowd of 36,973 at Tropicana Field.

The winning hit initially was scored a single. It was later changed to a double.

Rafael Soriano (1-0) got the win, despite struggling to get through the top of the ninth for Tampa Bay.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Giants 3, Astros 0

Barry Zito pitched three-hit ball over six innings and four relievers finished up San Francisco's victory over Houston.

Zito (1-0) struck out five before he was replaced by Waldis Joaquin. Joaquin, Dan Runzler, Sergio Romo and closer Brian Wilson combined for one hit in the last three innings. Wilson earned his second save.

Giants newcomer Aubrey Huff had two hits and drove in a run in a game that was scoreless until the sixth.

It was the second tough offensive night for a Houston team playing without star Lance Berkman. The loss followed Monday's 5-2 season-opening defeat, where the Astros were shut out for eight innings.

Brewers 7, Rockies 5

Randy Wolf's debut for the Brewers was a success, Casey McGehee and Rickie Weeks homered and Milwaukee beat Colorado.

Wolf (1-0) struck out eight in 6 2-3 innings in his first start since signing a $29.75 million, three-year contract in the offseason to bolster Milwaukee's starting staff.

McGehee and Weeks did their part to help. McGehee hit a three-run homer in the first and Weeks added a solo shot off Rockies starter Greg Smith (0-1) in the fifth.

Trevor Hoffman gave up a run in a rocky ninth for his 592nd career save.

Milwaukee snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Rockies.
