ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. (AP) Mike Zunino, Brandon Lowe and Willy Adames each hit a run-scoring single with two outs in the fifth inning as the AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays beat Philadelphia 4-3 Saturday night, damaging the Phillies' postseason hopes.
Andrew McCutchen had four hits for Philadelphia, which has lost six of seven. But the Phillies avoided elimination from the playoff race when San Francisco lost to San Diego 6-2 later. Heading into the final day of the regular season, the Phillies need a win over the Rays and losses by the Giants and Brewers to grab the final NL wild card.
