Yankees Lose to Devil Rays in Walk-Off
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays outlasted Melky Cabrera and the New York Yankees, 9-7. Cabrera was impressive in the loss. The New York center fielder was 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win went to Huston Street in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Joakim Soria took the loss. With the win, Tampa Bay pushed its record to 28-13.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Tampa Bay. That's when Carlos Villalobos hit a 2-run home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Joakim Soria to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

Villalobos expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
