An offense that goes quiet much of the night and a rough start by Ryan Pepiot are a bad combination.

The Windup | A night after scoring 16, Tampa Bay’s bats are relatively quiet as a loss drops the team to 8-9.

Notes | An 0-3, 6.88 start looks bad, but the veteran right-hander doesn’t think he needs to change much.

A spring change in process and some other tweaks have led to increased production and reasons for encouragement, even before Monday’s hit fest.

There were a slew of notable and historic achievements, as well as a nine-run, 14-batter third inning.

The Windup | Every player in the starting lineup scores and drives in a run for the second time in team history.
