Devil Rays Drop Red Sox with Late Score
The Orlando Devil Rays outlasted Tom Gordon and the Boston Red Sox, 8-6. Gordon was impressive in the loss. The Boston pitcher threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball. Alan Embree was credited with the save for Orlando, his 3rd of the season. Boston has now lost 4 straight.

The most important at-bat for Orlando came in the top of the ninth inning. With no one out, Kenny Lofton reached on an error by the 1B, driving in 2 runs, putting Orlando up, 7-6.

"We maximized our offense today," said Orlando skipper Ben Tennyson. "That makes everyone's life easier."
