The Cleveland Indians beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, in part because of left fielder Manny Ramirez. He was 2-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The win went to Rafael Betancourt in relief. His record improves to 6-8. J P Howell took the loss. Cleveland is 85-76 and Tampa Bay, with the loss, 70-91.

Ramirez dealt the big blow in the bottom of the ninth. That's when he launched a solo home run off Tampa Bay pitcher J P Howell to win it for the Indians.

Ramirez told reporters after the game: "This one was touch and go, but we were able to put it in the win column."
