Rays Chop Down Pirates, 3-0
In a low-scoring affair between the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays and the Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates, pitcher Jimmy Thompson was the difference between victory and defeat. The Tampa Bay (GCL) right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-0 Rays win. Thompson, now 7-0, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing no runs. The first-place Rays have won 6 in a row.

Brian McDonald, who is rated as the 53rd best prospect by BNN, had a direct impact on the outcome. McDonald contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Tampa Bay (GCL) up, 1-0.

"We didn't score," said losing manager Vinny Romo. "That was the problem."
