The Tampa Bay Rays picked up a win, 5-3, over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Mel Esquivel led the charge. The Puerto Plata native was 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for Tampa Bay. The win puts Tampa Bay at 18-15 this season.

Esquivel had a game-changing home run in the top of the 11th. On a 1-1 fastball from Jeremy McDaniel, he banged a 2-run home run to right-center, giving the Rays a 5-3 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Esquivel.

"Our team found a way to get it done," said Esquivel.
