On Road, Tampa Bay Beats Cleveland, 10-5
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Cleveland Guardians.

Bobby Higginson helped his team muscle past the Cleveland Guardians, 10-5. In the game, the Tampa Bay right fielder went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Tampa Bay now sits at 90-72, while Cleveland falls to 67-95.

Higginson had a key at-bat for Tampa Bay in the top of the first. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 21st home run of the season and gave Tampa Bay an early 3-0 lead.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," Higginson told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."
