Overview

  • Tampa Bay trailed 2–1 before erupting for a five-run sixth inning to secure a 6–5 victory and avoid a series sweep.
  • Josh Lowe’s leadoff solo homer and Yandy Díaz’s two-run blast fueled the go-ahead rally in the sixth inning.
  • Rookie Jake Mangum supplied an inside-the-park home run, the first by a Rays player in two years and the 24th in franchise history.
  • Ryan Pepiot delivered six innings with nine strikeouts in a quality start, and Edwin Uceta closed out his first career save despite a ninth-inning scare.
  • Brandon Lowe extended his major-league-leading hitting streak to 18 games and Tampa Bay will rest Thursday before beginning a 10-game road trip at Minnesota.
