Burrell crushes 3-run homer in win over A's

Pat Burrell hit a three-run homer as the Rays beat the A's 8-6 on Tuesday night.

With the score tied 4-4 and Oakland starter Ben Sheets scuffling on the mound, Burrell put Tampa Bay up for good in the bottom of the third with the three-run blast. It was his second homer of the season -- his first coming in dramatic fashion in the 12th inning of Tampa's suspended-game victory over the Red Sox -- but doesn't mitigate his 2010 struggles. The Bat is hitting only .231/.305/.423 after his 1-for-4 day.
