The Rays entered the night tied with the Orioles for the Major League lead in home runs with 63. They tacked on two more through Brandon Guyer, who was a triple shy of the cycle, and Taylor Motter, each hitting a solo shot. Motter added an RBI double in the seventh that gave the Rays a 6-5 lead. Marcell Ozuna stayed hot with a solo shot and three hits for Miami.
Both starters struggled and surrendered five earned runs. Miami's Wei-Yin Chen was tagged for two home runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings, while Tampa Bay's Matt Moore gave up 10 hits in five innings.
