ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Only the Rays’ bats could have dug them out of that hole Friday night. Brandon Lowe hit a two-run, walk-off home run to lift his team to an 8-7 win over the White Sox in front of a crowd of 17,973 at Tropicana Field.
Harold Ramirez homered in the first inning, his fourth, extending the Rays’ home run streak to 20 straight games to start the season, tying the record set by the 2019 Mariners. Christian Bethancourt led off the bottom of the ninth with a home run off Reynaldo Lopez.
Yandy Diaz followed with a single, and then Lowe crushed his sixth off the season and the Rays’ major league-leading 45th.
