Saucedo Helps Rays Beat Pirates, 6-1
Riding the 3-hit performance of the 28-year old second baseman Ozzie Saucedo, the Tampa Bay Rays stopped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-1. The Rays now own a record of 84-71.

Tampa Bay took a 6-1 lead on Saucedo's 7th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Eric Astrella in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Tampa Bay to the win.

"I still think this team can play even better," Saucedo told the Tampa Bay Observer.
