The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 5-2. Tampa Bay right fielder Edgar Nunez deserved the lion's share of the credit. Nunez went 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Buccaneers. The winning pitcher was Matt Estes. He tossed 113 pitches over 6.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits. The win has Tampa Bay at 7-10.

Tampa Bay used the hitting of Edwin Fonseca to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Buccaneers on top, 4-1. For the game, Fonseca had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Said losing manager Ben Javery: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
