The Devil Rays grabbed the lead in the top of the fifth. With no one out, Ivan Rodriguez, who is tied for 10th in the FL in doubles with 31, hit a 2-run home run off Rene Arocha, putting Orlando in front, 4-0. For Rodriguez, it was his 29th home run of the season.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Ben Tennyson said.
