Rays Rally For Late Win Over Rangers
The Tampa Bay Rays topped the Texas Rangers, 5-3, in American League action at Globe Life Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Tampa Bay pitcher Corey Kluber. He threw 7 innings of 6-hit ball. Kluber got the win, improving to 1-1. He allowed 6 hits and walked 4 over 7 innings. Kluber allowed 3 runs. The save was credited to Nick Anderson, his 4th.

It could have been a different outcome for Tampa Bay, had it not been for Michael Perez, the 27-year old catcher . Perez contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the eighth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 4-3.

Perez said his team "played with focus."

Tampa Bay, with the win, is 5-2.
