The Tampa Bay 2013 Rays beat the Houston 1980 Astros by a score of 5-4. Tampa Bay 2013 designated hitter Matt Joyce deserved the lion's share of the credit.

Frank LaCorte took the loss. Tampa Bay 2013 is now 17-20, while Houston 1980 is 24-13.

Joyce had a timely hit for Tampa Bay 2013 in the bottom of the seventh. With Tampa Bay 2013 trailing 4-3, he turned a 1-0 cutter into a 2-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season, making it 5-4, Tampa Bay 2013.

"We had situations where we should have got some runs in, but we didn't get the runs in," said losing manager Kelly Audia.
