Saints Turn Back Tampa Bay, 3-2
New Orleans Saints starter Danny Rojas turned in a top-notch performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. The result was a win for the Saints, 3-2. The win for the Saints lifted their record to 19-16.

New Orleans took a 3-0 lead on Jason McGuire's 4th home run of the season. The solo home run, which McGuire hit in the top of the seventh, left Tampa Bay pitcher Eric Wheaton visibly frustrated.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" New Orleans manager Scott Claxton said.
