The Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles completed their game despite the rain.

Riding the 3-hit performance of the fan favorite Dave Van den Bussche, the Tampa Bay Rays stopped the Baltimore Orioles, 10-2. Eddie Melendez earned the win, while 30-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Eassson took the loss for Baltimore.

Early in the game, Van den Bussche had a 2-run home run for Tampa Bay. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Rays on top, 2-0.

Baltimore manager Art Matlock called the blowout loss "not what we wanted."

Tampa Bay currently is in last place in the American League East Division at 37-68.
