Melendez Schools Baltimore in 3-2 Tampa Bay Triumph
Hurler Eddie Melendez gave the Tampa Bay Rays a solid start. The native of Maracaibo, Zulia helped his team defeat the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2, at Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium. The setback makes Baltimore 59-53.

It was an impressive turn from the legendarily hard-working Melendez, who tallied 7 strikeouts in 6 innings while allowing just 1 hit. Melendez, the 17th overall pick in the 2098 draft, goes to 5-6 on the year with 92 strikeouts.

"Eddie was able to locate to both sides, up and down," said Tampa Bay manager Kyle Delgado.
