Rays Top Texas, 3-2
The Tampa Bay Rays took Texas pitcher Jordan Cote's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Tropicana Field. The final score had Tampa Bay getting past the Rangers, 3-2. Cote went 6.2 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 3. Jeremy Benson, now 5-3, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 2 and walking 1. With the victory, the Rays upped their record to 38-30.

Tampa Bay took a 3-2 lead on Oneil Cruz's 9th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Cruz hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Texas pitcher Jean-Luc Raymond shaking his head.

After the game, Tampa Bay manager Gabe Kapler applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.
