Carl Crawford
D-Rays outfielder goes 5-for-5, homers, scores five runs, drives in two and steals four bases.
WHO'S NOT
Josh Towers

NOTABLE
Reversal of fortune: Toronto's Josh Towers has allowed 13 homers in 45 innings. Last season, he gave up 24 homers in 208 2/3. He signed a two-year, $5.2 million contract in the offseason.
NUMBERS
.426 Opponents' batting average against Minnesota's Brad Radke in the first inning.
17 Defensive starting outfield alignments for the New York Yankees, the most in the majors this season.
QUOTABLE
