Rays Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Cubs, 7-5
Despite a fine performance by shortstop Domingo Vargas, the Chicago Cubs lost to the Tampa Bay Rays, 7-5. Vargas was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs. At 74-81, the Rays are currently third in the American League East Division.

Tampa Bay used a timely hit from Alvaro Tiscareno to get the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rays ahead, 7-5. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"There's never a lack of effort in our clubhouse. We're willing to do the little things to get the win," Tiscareno told the Tampa Bay Observer.
