Rays Beat Visiting Rangers, 7-5
A good performance from third baseman Alex Castro helped the Tampa Bay Rays defeat the Texas Rangers, 7-5. Castro went 3-4 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Rays. Jeremy Wolfe was the winner. Over 5.1 innings, he yielded 5 runs on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 7 strikeouts. The Rays improved their record to 57-40 by beating Texas.

Chris Groff had a big 2-run home run for the Rays in the bottom of the first inning. With Tampa Bay leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from former first round draft pick Josh Wood and punished it. The result was his 20th home run of the season, which put the Rays on top, 4-1.

"If the personal accolades come, so be it," said Groff. "I just want to win ballgames."
