ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Brandon Lowe hit his first career grand slam in the second inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied with two runs in the ninth to beat the Indians 9-8.
Wander Franco tied the game in the ninth with an RBI single, and Yandy Díaz ended it with a bases-loaded grounder to second.
Pete Fairbanks worked a scoreless ninth for the win. Franmil Reyes homered and drove in five runs for the Indians, who have lost seven straight.
Indians All-Star third baseman José Ramírez was back in the starting lineup after missing three games with a sore left elbow and went 2 for 4.
Indians, Rays game postponed by storm
The game between the Indians and Rays scheduled for Tuesday night has been postponed because of the path of Tropical Storm Elsa and will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday.
The Rays and Major League Baseball announced the adjusted schedule about two hours before the start of the three-game series Monday night at Tropicana Field.
The traditional single-admission doubleheader will start at 12:10 p.m., with Game 2 beginning approximately 30 minutes following the conclusion of Game 1.
