Murphy Shines in 11-9 Tampa Bay Win
Tommy Murphy was the difference-maker for the Tampa Bay Rays in what turned into a shootout with the Minnesota Twins. Murphy, who led the AL in OPS with 1.116 in 2006, went 3-for-5 in the 11-9 Rays win. Picking up his 28th save was four-time All-Star Erik Walker. The Rays, at 64-49, sit in third place in the AL East Division.

Tampa Bay took the lead on Murphy's 20th double of the season. The 2-run double, which came against R.J. Rodriguez in the top of the sixth, made the score 9-8, Tampa Bay.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Murphy said.
