River Hills Sunk by Tampa Bay, 4-0
Gabe Vargas had a strong outing for the Tampa Bay Rays against the River Hills Rockets at River Hills Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-0 win. Vargas got the win, improving to 2-0. He gave up 4 hits and walked 0 over 6 innings. He allowed no runs. The Rockets drop to 4-5 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2026 season.

Tampa Bay used a clutch at-bat from Danny Garcia to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rays ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I felt good up there," said Garcia. "I saw the ball well."
