Giants Drop Buccaneers, 7-4, with Late Score
The New York Giants beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 7-4, at Giants Stadium. Carlos Rizo was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. The 28-year old third baseman was a menace to Tampa Bay all day. The win went to Adam Coury in relief, making him now 2-0. Danny Dick took the loss for Tampa Bay. The win lifts New York to a record of 10-12.

Shawn Skinner, who is tied for 10th in the NBC with a .457 on-base percentage, helped out the New York cause in the bottom of the seventh inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the first baseman went 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

"There's a lot of passion in our clubhouse," said Rizo. "When we put it together we're a great ball club."
