The Tampa Bay Rays scored a tight, 4-3 win versus the St. Louis Cardinals at Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay pitcher Chris Stephenson held his own in the contest. Tampa Bay pitcher Joe Montgomery got the win, upping his record to 4-7. Chad Cooke got the loss. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for the Rays.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Tampa Bay third baseman Dylan Veeck, facing Chad Cooke, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Rays the 4-3 win.

"Chris gets tougher when he has to, makes a big pitch when he has to," said Tampa Bay skipper Joey Cora.
