Rays Rough Up Twins, 9-1
The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins, 9-1, at Target Field. Brad Mondon, who finished 4th in the AL in RBI with 136 in 2041, starred for Tampa Bay. He hit 2 home runs. He scored 4 runs and drove in 3. The 4th-place Rays lifted their record to 48-39.

Tampa Bay used a well-timed hit by Gianpaolo Rucelli to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Rays ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it was important.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Rucelli told the Tampa Bay Observer.
