Crawford homers in All-Star game
In his first at-bat at Tuesday's All-Star Game, Devil Rays outfielder Carl Crawford hit a two-out solo home run to give the American League a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning.
After fouling off four pitches, Crawford hit a 3-and-2 pitch from Francisco Cordero of the Brewers over the rightfield wall.
It is Crawford's second All-Star appearance. It was the second hit by a Devil Ray in an All-Star Game. Randy Winn had a double in 2002.

Congrats CC! You've represented the Devil Rays well. Hope you can bring back (from the vets we don't have) the knowledge to lead these kids to a championship some day.
