The Devil Rays won the biggest game in their existence last night. Scott Kazmir outpitched Johan Santana, the best pitcher in the majors to end Santana's home winning streak:

Despite striking out 10 in seven innings, including five of the last six batters he faced, Santana (2-1) lost at home for the first time since Aug. 1, 2005. He was 17-0 during that stretch, and the Twins won all 24 games their two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched.

Santana gave up six hits, four runs and one walk, which came in a three-run fifth by the Devil Rays - who erased a 10-game losing streak at Minnesota. This was their first victory here since June 3, 2004, when Santana was also the victim.

Tampa Bay, which leads the majors with 16 homers, also matched a team record by hitting a home run in 10 straight games - first done from Sept. 18-28, 2000.

Kazmir paced himself better, delivering 113 pitches in eight strong innings. He only struck out six, but did not issue a walk. Iwamura drew the only two base on balls in the game. He now has 10 on the season, more than 1/3 of the Devil Rays total.

The Devil Rays showed last night with decent pitching, they can compete with anyone. The next step for the franchise is to find more pitching.
