Not good. Oh well, we try and break even on the road trip tomorrow. We've always had trouble against the D-Rays. It's only one loss but I'm VERY worried about Zito; he got lit up.
Zito set another career high tonight...runs given up
The Devil Rays started the inning with five consecutive hits off Zito (0-2), who gave up a career-high 11 runs in just 3 1-3 innings.
Zito allowed seven hits and three walks, and continued his April struggles. Despite a career record of 72-42, he is 10-11 in the first month of the season. In his first two starts this season, the left-hander has allowed 15 runs and 13 hits spanning 9 1-3 innings
