The Devil Rays bumped their record to 76-63 with this latest triumph.

Valentin contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Orlando in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 1-0, Valentin took a fastball from Brian Bohanon and stroked the home run to left. His 26th home run of the season allowed the Devil Rays to leap in front, 3-1.

"I was able to barrel up some pitches," said Valentin.
