Quality debut for Rocket
Poor defense hurts Bucs
The Pirates showed no fear early on against Roger Clemens in his season debut, scoring a run in the first inning and tying the game at 3 in the fourth, but a pair of errors and a series of other lapses in the field were too much to overcome. Paul Maholm allowed five runs (three earned) in the loss. Catcher Ronny Paulino allowed five steals.
