BALTIMORE — Manager Kevin Cash has talked repeatedly about the need for his Rays to be more productive offensively, especially early in games. So when they scored three runs over the first two innings Wednesday, they seemed to be on the right track.
But then they put a late lead in the left hand of reliever Colin Poche and watched it get away for a second straight night as he gave up a tying homer with one out in the ninth inning.
But then they rallied again, scoring two in the 10th and hanging on for a 6-4 win.
