Rays Drop Rockets, 6-4
The 6-4 Tampa Bay win over River Hills was due largely to Jim Miller. The Rays right fielder went 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was 32-year old right-handed pitcher Fernando Nieves. He tossed 105 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits. The defeat makes River Hills 33-76.

Tampa Bay used a clutch at-bat from David Rivera to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Rays ahead, 6-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Rivera.
