Grass went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Pat Gore got the save, his 19th in 20 chances. Tampa Bay goes to 77-77, Baltimore to 84-69.

Tampa Bay took the lead, 8-6, on Kurt Penz's 25th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Baltimore pitcher Mike Griffiths in the bottom of the eighth.

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