Lowe's Two Homers Power Rays Past Nationals to Clinch Series

Bryan Baker logged his first save with Tampa Bay to cap Ryan Pepiot's five-scoreless start.

Overview

  • Josh Lowe drove in all four runs with a three-run shot in the first inning and a solo homer in the fourth during Tampa Bay's 4-1 win.
  • Ryan Pepiot worked five scoreless innings, allowing one hit with six strikeouts and three walks, and did not yield a hit until the fourth.
  • Washington's losing streak hit seven games, with James Wood supplying an RBI single as the Nationals continued a rough stretch.
  • The game saw two brief delays after fans entered restricted areas, including an incident near shortstop Carson Williams in the seventh.
  • Griffin Jax escaped a first-and-third, no-out jam in the eighth, and Bryan Baker finished the ninth for his third save this season and first with the Rays.
