Devil Rays Bang Out 7-4 Win Versus Minnesota
The Orlando Devil Rays bested the Minnesota Twins by a score of 7-4, with second baseman Craig Biggio getting the main credit. On the day, Biggio was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Devil Rays. The third-place Devil Rays improved to 56-47.

The Devil Rays got a big at-bat from first baseman Jeff Bagwell, who in the top of the fourth hit a 2-run home run. It was his 26th home run of the season and put the Devil Rays on top, 4-2.

Biggio said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
