Rays Deal Rangers 9-4 Defeat
The Tampa Bay Rays cut down the Texas Rangers by the score of 9-4, with the largest share of the credit going to shortstop Paul Shapiro. Shapiro was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Rays. Joseph Fisher picked up the win, improving his season record to 5-6. He struck out 3 in 6.2 innings. After today's action, Tampa Bay sits at 48-66; Texas slips to 58-58.

The Rangers had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Rays going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 28-year old first baseman Joe Slayback came to the plate. Slayback hit a bases-clearing double on a full count fastball from Texas hurler Mike Poole. It was Slayback's 9th double of the year.

"It feels good to get this one," Shapiro told the Tampa Bay Bulletin.
