Jordan, Devil Rays Clobber Rangers
A 4-RBI performance from Brian Jordan, who finished 2nd in the FL in triples with 13 in 1992, helped the Orlando Devil Rays beat the Texas Rangers, 11-2. The third-place Devil Rays raised their record to 82-70.

Orlando took a 7-2 lead on Jordan's 30th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Jeff Calhoun in the top of the eighth, propelled Orlando to the win.

"I felt good up there," said Jordan. "I saw the ball well."
