Bluebirds Defeated by Thunder, 7-4
Nashville got a decent performance from pitcher Wilson Benitez, but it wasn't enough to beat the Tampa Bay Thunder. Tampa Bay won the Johnny Cash Field contest, 7-4. Benitez threw 5.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Damani Peterson earned the save for Tampa Bay, his 3rd. The triumph puts Tampa Bay at 22-19 for the season.

It could have been a different outcome for Tampa Bay, had it not been for Jesse Keys, the 26-year old shortstop . Keys contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 3-2.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Tampa Bay manager Ray McKay.
