Mets 5, Rays 3
Andy Sonnanstine went six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. (Paul J. Bereswill/AP)
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
Andy Sonnanstine surrendered a three-run homer in the third, creating a deficit that the Rays would not erase in the opener against the Mets. B.J. Upton pulled Tampa Bay within one with a two-run double, but that's as close as the club would get.
