Devil Rays Bang Out 8-3 Win Versus Minnesota
A 4-RBI performance from Craig Biggio, who finished 5th in the FL in runs with 111 in 1993, helped the Orlando Devil Rays beat the Minnesota Twins, 8-3. Xavier Hernandez nailed down his 1st save. The Devil Rays, now 4-2, have been on a roll in the early going.

The game turned with one out in the top of the fifth when Biggio, who finished 2nd in the FL in runs with 118 in 1991, hit a 2-run double. It propelled the Devil Rays into the lead, 4-2.

Biggio called the triumph "a good team win."
