Rays Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Dodgers, 6-3
The Los Angeles Dodgers got a sterling performance from pitcher Florentin Eliade, but the Tampa Bay Rays still prevailed, 6-3. Eliade threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball. The win belonged to Dan Gardner in relief. His record improves to 1-3. Bob Vaughn took the loss for Los Angeles. With the win, Tampa Bay upped its record to 38-35.

Kevin Plawecki came through with a big-time hit for Tampa Bay. The pinch hitter smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 6-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Plawecki attributed the win to his team's "grittiness."
