He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The winner was Tampa Bay (GCL) reliever Edwin Hinkle, now 2-0. The loser was Steve Gordon. Ernie Holt earned the save for Tampa Bay (GCL).

Chris Jones was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Tampa Bay (GCL). The 24-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jim Unknown. It was his 9th RBI of the season.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Jones told the Tampa Bay (GCL) Gazette.

Baltimore (GCL) drops to 3-7.
