Hammers Sunk by Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays topped the Atlanta Hammers, 8-2, in American League action at SunTrust Park. The standout performance belonged to Tampa Bay pitcher and Arjona, Colombia, native Jose Quintana. Quintana, now 4-3, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. Today's win puts Tampa Bay at 76-69, while Atlanta falls to 62-83.

Tampa Bay used a well-timed hit by Osvaldo Leme to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Rays ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Jose -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Rays manager Joey Cora. "He was the key to us winning."
