The skies opened up and the rain fell at VSL Cubs Complex.

The Tampa Bay (VSL) Rays picked up a win at VSL Cubs Complex, taking down the Chicago (VSL) Cubs, 6-3. Starting pitcher José Rivera was a big reason why. Alfredo Buenamea earned save number 1 this season.

Tampa Bay (VSL) used a well-timed hit by Jorge Córdova to capture the win. The catcher socked a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Rays ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I found a nice groove out there," said Rivera.

Chicago (VSL) has now lost 5 in a row.
