Buccaneers Lose at Home, 6-5
Tampa Bay got a valiant performance from pitcher Matt Estes, but it wasn't enough to beat the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta won the game, 6-5. Estes threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Atlanta, now 12-19, is off to a slow start.

Atlanta used the timely hitting of Nick Baumgartner to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Falcons on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Baumgartner. "You've got to get results."
