Starting pitcher Julián González pitched well enough to help the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Portland Timberjacks, 4-3. The winner was Clarence Childs in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Pete Williams took the loss. Ced Gutiérrez closed the door for Tampa Bay, picking up his 4th save of the year.

Raúl Ruíz, the 29-year old second baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Ruíz contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to put Tampa Bay up, 4-3.

"We played hard and won," said González. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

The first-place Rays have a one-game lead in their division.
