Devil Rays Top Spiders Behind Smoltz, 4-1
The Orlando Devil Rays picked up a win at League Park, knocking off the Cleveland Spiders, 4-1. On the mound for Orlando was right-hander John Smoltz, who played a pivotal role in the win. Orlando's record now stands at 44-37, placing them third in the Federal League East Division.

Cleveland had little success against Smoltz and his fastball. Smoltz tossed 122 pitches over 8.1 innings for the Devil Rays.

"I had a good game plan," said Smoltz. "I made my pitches." His manager concurred. "It was all there," Ben Tennyson said, "the velocity, the sharpness of his pitches."
