San Francisco Ruins Terrific Game by Beltre
Tropicana Field was the site for Virtual Baseball League action featuring the San Francisco Giants and Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays had to overcome a big game from San Francisco third baseman Adrian Beltre to leave Tropicana Field with a victory. And they did, winning, 6-2. Beltre hit 2 home runs. The winner was Gil Meche, who threw 98 pitches over 5.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 7 hits.

Carl Crawford had a big 2-run double for the Devil Rays in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Tampa Bay leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 35-year old right-handed pitcher Jon Lieber and swatted a double to left. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Devil Rays ahead, 4-0.

Said losing manager Dusty Baker: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."

The Devil Rays, now 3-8, have not found much traction so far in 2005.
