Rays Deal Blue Jays 9-3 Defeat
The Tampa Bay Rays bested the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 9-3, with shortstop Bob Reinhard getting the main credit. On the day, Reinhard went 2-3 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Rays. Mike Benson picked up the win with 7 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 9-7. The Blue Jays, now 31-68, have lost 5 straight.

Tampa Bay took a 5-3 lead on Alvin Friedlander's 22nd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Friedlander hit in the top of the seventh, left Toronto pitcher Alex Ortiz shaking his head.

"We maximized our offense today," said Tampa Bay skipper Harrison Simon. "That makes everyone's life easier."
