The rookie third baseman finished with three hits and three RBI, and became the second player ever to homer in his first two post-season at-bats.

Minnesota's Gary Gaetti accomplished the feat against Detroit in game one of the 1987 AL Championship Series.

Akinori Iwamura had two hits and one RBI. Two others drove in a run and Jason Bartlett had two hits in the Rays' first-ever post-season contest.

Winning pitcher James Shields (1-0) gave up three earned runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Dan Wheeler, the last of four Rays' pitchers, earned a save, despite giving up Paul Konerko's ninth-inning solo homer.

Chicago also got a three-run homer by Dewayne Wise in the third.

The losing pitcher was starter Javier Vazquez (0-1).
