Astros Lose to Rays, 6-3
The Tampa Bay Rays knocked off the Houston Astros, 6-3, at Tropicana Field. Matt Duffy, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Tampa Bay won. The shortstop was 1 for 2 with a double and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Rays bumped their record to 45-36 with this latest triumph.

Duffy contributed a big hit, a bases-clearing double, for Tampa Bay in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 3-1, Duffy took a fastball from Daniel Mengden and stroked the double to left. His 12th double of the season allowed the Rays to leap in front, 4-3.

"We did a lot of things right," said Duffy.
