Rays Victors, 6-3, at St. Louis
Josh Simons, who is tied for 9th in the AL in wins with 11, had a strong outing for the Tampa Bay Rays against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 6-3 win. Tampa Bay is now 61-65.

Tampa Bay catcher Omar Serna contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a sinker to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 69th hit of the season and put the Rays ahead, 3-0.

Said Tampa Bay manager Ben Dover: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."
