Devil Rays Win at Cleveland, 9-4
The Orlando Devil Rays topped the Cleveland Spiders by the score of 9-4, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Jeff Bagwell. Bagwell went 1-2 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Devil Rays. Orlando is now 29-26, Cleveland 28-26.

Orlando used the bat of Tim Salmon to get the win. The right fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Devil Rays ahead, 7-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

Salmon 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."
