Tampa Bay Rallies for 4-3 Victory
The Tampa Bay Rays did just enough to sneak past the San Diego Padres, 4-3, at The Pound at Seaport Village. Tampa Bay pitcher Erik Lepore, in particular, had a standout performance. Josh Bossow earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 4-0. Tampa Bay, at 55-78, holds down 4th place in the American League East Division.

Tampa Bay used a timely hit from Paul Shapiro to get the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rays ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Shapiro.
