    To help the Tampa Bay Rays relax, manager Joe Maddon invited a disc jockey into the clubhouse for a little pregame entertainment Saturday.

    "I want our guys to chill out a little bit, go out there and play hard and not be afraid of making mistakes -- ever," Maddon said. "This is my way of getting the point across."

    Mission accomplished.

    Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson scattered three hits over seven innings and Matt Joyce homered for the first time in nearly three weeks to help the Rays stop the A's 1-0 on Saturday night.
