Rays Pick Up 5-2 Win Against Boston
Tampa Bay Rays starter Eric Cartwright hurled his team past the Boston Red Sox, 5-2. Tampa Bay raised its record to 51-47 with the win.

Tampa Bay used a well-timed hit by Adrian Rondon to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rays ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Eric did a good job of managing their lineup," said Tampa Bay manager Joey Cora.
