Cobb moved to 6-5 on the season while lowering his ERA to 4.05. Reds starter Amir Garrett, who endured a 37-pitch inning in the third, fell to 3-6. Despite surrendering a 433-foot home run to Joey Votto and an RBI single to Suarez in the ninth, Alex Colome got the job done to record his 20th save of the season.
The Reds jumped out to a 2-0 lead via RBI singles by Jose Peraza and Eugenio Suarez in the second and third innings. The Rays answered in the third when Dickerson singled home a run off Garrett, and Logan Morrison added a two-run single to put the Rays up, 3-2.
