    Finally healthy, Ben Zobrist is hitting the way he did during his breakout 2009 season.

    Zobrist set a Tampa Bay record with eight RBIs, hitting a home run and two doubles Thursday as the Rays routed the Minnesota Twins 15-3 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.

    Zobrist went 4-for-6 and scored twice. He hit an RBI single in the first inning and a three-run homer in the sixth before adding two-run doubles in the seventh and ninth.

    Zobrist broke the team RBIs record of seven set by Carlos Pena in 2007. He's the first player to drive in at least eight runs in a game since the Toronto Blue Jays' Adam Lind on Aug. 31, 2009.
