Cleveland led 8-2 after seven, powered by Ellis Burks’ three-run homer and a solid start from Bartolo Colon. In the eighth, the first three Devil Rays reached off Ricardo Rincon and Steve Reed, and Russ Johnson’s triple made it 8-6. Rich Rodriguez was summoned to fan Ben Grieve, and Paul Shuey did the same to Greg Vaughn. Fred McGriff led off the ninth with a single, but Aubrey Huff hit into a double play rather than seize the mantle of hero (he’d already singled, doubled, and homered) and Randy Winn bounced out to end it.
The Tampa Bay pitchers were Albie Lopez, Brian Rose, Jeff Wallace, and Doug Creek, in case you like me were struggling to place any of those names.
