Tampa Bay Makes Cleveland 6-4 Losers
The Tampa Bay Rays picked up a win at Tropicana Field, knocking off the Cleveland Guardians, 6-4. Starting pitcher Kevin Murray played a key role in the triumph. With the victory, the Rays upped their record to 53-51.

Daniel Santos had a big 2-run home run for the Rays in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Tampa Bay leading 3-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a curveball from Hector Jimenez, who led the AL in wins with 18 in 2024, and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Rays on top, 5-0.

"I felt good up there," said Santos. "I saw the ball well."
