Devil Rays Bang Out 8-3 Win Versus Minnesota
The Orlando Devil Rays topped the Minnesota Twins by the score of 8-3, with the largest share of the credit going to catcher Ivan Rodriguez.

He worked 5.2 innings, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. The third-place Devil Rays have won 5 straight games.

With Orlando leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Rodriguez hit a slider from Steve Parris for a 2-run home run. It was his 11th home run of the season and put the Devil Rays ahead, 3-0.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Rodriguez said after the game.
