Cuban Giants Earn Late 8-7 Win
The rain did not keep Miami and Memphis from finishing their game.

Iván Rodríguez left his imprint on the 8-7 Miami win against the Memphis Red Sox. Rodríguez went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Barry Latman notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. His record now sits at 1-1.

Had Rodríguez not come through in the top of the 11th, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Rodríguez hit a solo home run. The Cuban Giants took the lead, 8-7, and never looked back.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Rodríguez. "It sure beats the alternative."

The defeat makes Memphis 6-10.
