Both teams had their chances, but the Tampa Bay Rays eventually prevailed.

Kirby Puckett did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Chicago White Sox from losing, 7-6, to the Tampa Bay Rays at U.S. Cellular Field. Puckett went 2 for 5 with a triple. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The second-place Rays now have a win-loss record of 80-71.

This game was not decided until late. With one out in the top of the ninth, Raúl Ruíz hit a sacrifice fly. The Rays took the lead, 7-6.

"Winning is all that really matters and we got it done today," Ruíz told the Tampa Bay News.
