Ramirez Lifts Devil Rays to 17-5 Triumph
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays powered past the Minnesota Twins, 17-5, at Tropicana Field. Manny Ramirez went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 5 runs and scored once, to lead the charge. The win makes Tampa Bay 79-60.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Devil Rays third baseman Carlos Villalobos hit a fastball from Octavio Dotel for a 2-run single. Just like that, Tampa Bay was up, 5-4.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Villalobos said. "We did a good job of that today."
