In 7 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 11, walking 3, and allowing 3 earned runs. The Devil Rays have now won 5 straight.

Bobby Bonilla, who finished 5th in the FL in batting average with .298 in 1987, aided the Orlando cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the first. For the game, the first baseman went 2 for 3 with 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Smoltz.
