Rays Nip Dodgers, 3-2
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays provided some drama for the home crowd.

The Tampa Bay Rays earned a close win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, thanks in part to Eddie Melendez. The Tampa Bay right-hander, who is tied for 8th in the AL with a 1.20 WHIP, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. The winner was Melendez. He threw 5.1 innings of 3-hit ball. The loser was Matt Patras. Jeremy Coffen notched his 24th save in 27 chances.

Mark Fousek, who is a five-time Gold Glove Award winner, had a direct impact on the outcome. Fousek contributed a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 3-1.

Los Angeles manager Giovanni Ciotti said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.

With the win, the Rays have a record of 71-56.
