Tampa Bay and St. Louis got after it at Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium.

Pitcher Eddie Melendez was sensational for the Tampa Bay Rays in his team's 8-1 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. Melendez earned the win. The win has Tampa Bay at 65-96.

Dirk Richardson had a big 2-run double for the Rays in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Tampa Bay leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Chris Fama, who is tied for 5th in the NL in innings pitched with 214.0, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 36th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rays ahead, 3-0.

"We didn't put up much resistance," said losing manager Leyland Thomas.
