Tampa Bay matched its season high with 16 hits, including four by No. 9 hitter Taylor Walls and three each by Travis Jankowski, Yandy Díaz and Aranda. Brandon Lowe hit a two-run single and speedy Chandler Simpson scored from second on an infield hit.
Taj Bradley (3-2) stopped a three-start winless streak, allowing two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings as Tampa Bay won its second straight after a four-game slide.
