Late Rally by Buccaneers Secures 4-2 Win
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers used the hitting of right fielder Edgar Nunez to subdue the Philadelphia Eagles, 4-2. For the game, Nunez went 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI. The win was credited to Russell Wert in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Chris Haeflinger took the loss. At 19-26, Tampa Bay is in third place in the National Conference South.

Nunez had a game-changing double in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 fastball from Chris Haeflinger, he banged a run-scoring double to right, giving the Buccaneers a 3-2 lead. It was the 12th double of the year for Nunez.

Tampa Bay manager Justin Wilson said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
