Devil Rays Get Close Win Over Marlins
Orlando Devil Rays starter Randy Tomlin pitched effectively against the Florida Marlins at Joe Robbie Stadium. The left-hander spearheaded his team's 5-2 win. Tomlin got the win, improving to 5-5. He allowed 10 hits and walked 0 over 9 innings. Tomlin allowed 2 earned runs. The Devil Rays bumped their record to 71-66 with this latest triumph.

Orlando used the timely hitting of Ivan Rodriguez to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Devil Rays on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Tomlin.
