Cox Slugs Rays to 15-4 Win
The Tampa Bay Rays marched over the Texas Rangers, 15-4, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Eric Cox, who led the AL in triples with 9 last year, led the charge. He was 4-5 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 7. Orlando Estrada picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 4. On the season, he is now 1-1. With the loss, Texas drops to 2-6.

With Tampa Bay leading 6-4 in the top of the fourth, Cox hit a fastball from Chris Wynn for a grand slam home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Rays ahead, 10-4.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Texas manager Ron Robinson.
