Quote: "It's disappointing, but you know what? Tomorrow morning the sun is going to come up and we'll take it from there." -- A's pitcher Gil Heredia, who gave up five runs in 3 2/3 innings.It's a fact: The Devil Rays were 12-12 in April, their first month at .500 or better.

Who's hot: The Red Sox's Mike Stanley is 11-for-22 after ending an 0-for-22 slump.

Who's not: The A's have an AL-high 26 errors this season.

On deck: It's a knuckleball special today, with the Red Sox's Tim Wakefield opposing the Athletics' Tom Candiotti.
