Clark Helps Devil Rays Defeat Royals, 6-5
Tampa Bay beat Kansas City at Royals Stadium 1973, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to catcher Howie Clark. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Todd Ritchie, the winning pitcher, is now 6-9. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 9 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 2. Tampa Bay is now 41-62. Kansas City is 68-35.

There was more than one reason the Devil Rays beat the Royals, but Clark's big at-bat in the top of the third was an important factor. He staked his team to a 3-1 lead when he hit a 2-run single.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Clark, "and then get after it again."
