The Tampa Bay Rays locked up a win at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, knocking off the Texas Rangers, 3-0. On the mound for Tampa Bay was left-hander Scott Kazmir.

Grant Balfour closed the game out for Tampa Bay, earning his 6th save.

The Rays got an important contribution from shortstop Julio Lugo, who in the top of the fourth hit a sinker to right for a run-scoring double. It was his 32nd double of the season and put the Rays ahead, 2-0.

Lugo called the win "a lesson in teamwork."

The Rays, at 74-86, sit in last place in the American League Eastern Division.
