Nomar Garciaparra blasted 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI at The Ballpark where the
Tampa Bay Devil Rays beat the Texas Rangers 11 to 5.

Garciaparra had a good evening at the plate.  He blasted a two-run home run in
the 2nd inning, delivered a one-base hit in the 4th inning and smashed a
bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 13th of the season) in the 6th inning.  Tampa Bay
dominated offensively as they scored in 6 different innings.  

The victory went to Rodrigo Lopez(9-2) who went 7 innings, allowing 5 runs.
A.J. Burnett(7-7) was given the loss.  He was knocked around, surrendering 5
runs in 4 and 1/3 innings.  

The Tampa Bay ballclub's record now stands at a division leading 62-20.  Texas
can't seem to snap out of their recent 'funk'.  Now they have a miserable
0-10 record over the last couple weeks.
