Big Day for Zillmer as Rays Down Rockies, 5-4
Tampa Bay and Colorado put this game in the books despite some rain.

A good performance from first baseman Mike Zillmer helped the Tampa Bay Rays defeat the Colorado Rockies, 5-4. Zillmer went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Rays. The win went to Jim Merritt in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Chris Cooper took the loss.

Zillmer had an important at-bat with a runner on 1st in the top of the seventh, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Rays went on to win.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Zillmer. "But I like how we're playing right now."

The loss drops Colorado to 1-8.
