Tampa Bay third baseman Jose Rodriguez played a vital role in his team's 5-4 conquest of Houston. He went 2-5 with 2 home runs for Tampa Bay. Kevin Kelly picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 6-1. Patrick Ruotolo was tagged with the loss. Shane McClanahan converted his 37th save in 43 tries.

Jarred Kelenic drove in one run for Tampa Bay. The slugging right fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Luis Aguilar. It was his 63rd RBI of the season.

After the game, Tampa Bay manager Dan Shepherd applauded the team's effort. "We put some good AB's together," he said.

The victory gives Tampa Bay a record of 83-55.
