Rays Snatch Late Win
Starting pitcher Jared Wiggins pitched well enough to help the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees, 6-3. Ernie Newman picked up the save for Tampa Bay, his 8th of the year. No one expected much of this team but the hot start by Tampa Bay might have some re-evaluating their pre-season predictions. The win today pushes their record to 12-8.

Tampa Bay used the clutch hitting of Willie Watkins to snag the win. The third baseman drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rays ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Watkins.
