Rays Score Late, Top Astros, 4-2
Tampa Bay left fielder Zach Giunta played a vital role in his team's 4-2 conquest of Houston. He went 3-3 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay reliever Eric O'Connell was the winner. His record is now 5-1. Johnny Miller took the loss. Ben Valone was credited with the save for Tampa Bay, his 22nd of the season.

Tampa Bay took a 3-2 lead on Jeremy Meade's 27th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Meade hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Houston pitcher Johnny Miller visibly frustrated.

Giunta called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."

Tampa Bay is now 87-49. Houston is 71-64.
