The game between Tampa Bay (GCL) and Baltimore (GCL) is in the books, despite a little rain.

The Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays had to overcome a big game from Baltimore (GCL) center fielder Baptiste Gandon to leave Ed Smith Stadium with a victory. And they did, winning 9-5. Gandon was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Tampa Bay (GCL) reliever Jeff Boucher was the winner. His record is now 2-0. Jesús Aragón took the loss.

Tampa Bay (GCL) relied on the hitting of Eric Faulkner to pick up the win. The catcher ripped a bases-clearing triple in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rays on top, 4-3. For the game, Faulkner had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It was sure nice to get the win but there's a lot of baseball left," Faulkner after the game.

With the win, the Rays have a record of 16-15.
