Rays Sneak By Cubs, 3-2
The Chicago Cubs got a superb performance from pitcher Trevor Stephan. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Tampa Bay. The Rays won the game, 3-2. Stephan threw 6.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Yoniel Curet collected his 28th save. Tampa Bay is in 4th place in the American League East Division with a record of 66-89.

Zack Prajzner, the 28-year old second baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Prajzner contributed a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the eighth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 3-2.

"We take it day by day here," said Prajzner, "and today was a good one for us."
