Rays Hand Chicago (VSL) 8-5 Loss
The Tampa Bay (VSL) Rays defeated the Chicago (VSL) Cubs by the score of 8-5, with the biggest share of the credit going to center fielder Jesús Deleón. Deleón was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Rays on the day. Today's win puts Tampa Bay (VSL) at 13-10, while Chicago (VSL) falls to 7-18.

The Cubs had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Rays going into the top of the seventh inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old left fielder Juan López came to the plate. López hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Chicago (VSL) hurler Jim Unknown. It was López's 15th double of the year.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said López.
