    Desmond Jennings' first instinct was to simply try to move the potential tying run into scoring position. Fortunately for the Tampa Bay Rays, he settled on that being his second option.

    "I haven't been hitting the ball well, so in that situation with no outs, I thought about it," Jennings said after hitting a first-pitch, two-run homer to the deepest part of the ball park to help rookie Chris Archer beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 on Friday night. "I was going to give myself one pitch to strike it, and if that didn't work, then maybe try to lay down a bunt."
