You can't spell stupid with AP! Wait...um..

Here is what actually happened:

Rookie Enny Romero combined with four relievers on a one-hit shutout until Fernando Rodney nearly lost the game, which Tampa Bay hung on to win 3-1. Rodney surrendered Baltimore's only run and two of its three hits before getting credit for his 36th save.

Here is really what happened:

Following an 18-inning affair that sapped Tampa Bay of available starters, career Minor Leaguer Enny Romero flew from the Dominican Republic to combine with four relievers on what might have been a shutout. With closer Fernando Rodney on in the ninth, Matt Wieters doubled on a two-out pop-up to third that hit the catwalk in the stadium's roof and knocked in Baltimore's only run. Rodney retired the next batter to earn his 36th save.

That's the difference between a mindless summary, the facts and the truth.
