Ankiel Stellar as Orioles Coast to 10-1 Win
Tampa Bay had no answer for 22-year old left-handed pitcher Rick Ankiel. The Baltimore Orioles starter stymied Devil Rays hitters, helping the Orioles cruise to victory, 10-1. Now 2-16, the 2002 Devil Rays have been wretched so far.

Ankiel, a native of Fort Pierce, Florida, was dealing all game. He kept Tampa Bay hitters off-balance, while giving the Orioles 7.1 quality innings. Ankiel threw 104 pitches, allowing 3 hits and striking out 10.

"Rick was lights-out," said Tampa Bay manager Jeff Starks.
