GAME ID: 397 - TUESDAY, MAY 2ND , 2006 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Minnesota Twins (7-20) 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 5 0
Tampa Bay Devil Rays (10-17) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 X 6 5 2
Devil Rays Score Late, Top Twins, 6-2
Starting pitcher Mark Prior was a major factor in the 6-2 Tampa Bay Devil Rays triumph over the Minnesota Twins. The winning pitcher was Prior, now 2-1. He tossed 9 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 4. The Twins, now 7-20, continue their inauspicious start.

Tampa Bay took a 4-2 lead on Stephen Drew's 8th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Drew hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Minnesota pitcher Jose Melendez visibly frustrated.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Drew.
