Lugo, Rays Beat Twins, 12-4
Good production from designated hitter José Lugo helped the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays topple the Minnesota (GCL) Twins, 12-4. Lugo went 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5 for the Rays. The winner in relief was Juan Cortéz. The right-hander allowed no runs on 4 hits in 2.1 innings. He now owns a record of 6-0. Tampa Bay (GCL) is now 28-24, Minnesota (GCL) 19-33.

The Rays got an important contribution from first baseman Steve Harper, who in the bottom of the fifth hit a fastball into right for a 3-run home run. It was his 9th home run of the season and put the Rays ahead, 7-4.

"It's still just a game," said Lugo, "whether you win or lose."
