Ben Zobrist had his career best game today against the Minnesota twins. He pretty much single handed destroyed the twins offensively. Zobrist broke the Tampa Bay Rays franchise R.B.I record with 8 RBIs. the record was originally 7 which was set by Carlos Pena in 2007. Zobrist batted 4 for 6, hitting a 3-run home run, RBI single, and two-two RBI doubles. He was a triple away from hitting the cycle. The Rays destroyed the Twins 15-3. Zobrist is now getting back to his old ways. He was known as a good home run and RBI hitter, but last year his stats were not as good due to injury. He has been a contributor to what the Rays have been accomplishing lately. The Rays started off the season poorly getting swept by there division rivals Baltimore Orioles, and the LA Angels. The Rays only won 1 of there first 8 games; since then they have gone on a rampage winning 12 of there last 15. Tampa Bay is now only 1.5 games behind the New York Yankees for first place in the American League Eastern division. It is going to be interesting to see what happens in the remaining season; this by far is the number one division in the MLB.
