Tampa Bay turned a good performance from starting pitcher Eric Cartwright into a 3-0 triumph over the Los Angeles Angels at Tropicana Field. The triumph puts Tampa Bay at 77-71 for the season.
The Rays benefited from an error in the bottom of the second inning. Tampa Bay was leading 1-0 when Bobby Davenport hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Tampa Bay in front, 3-0.
"That was a really good outing by Eric," said Tampa Bay manager Joey Cora.
