Rays rally back again, use 5-run 7th to overtake Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tim Beckman hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh as the Tampa Bay Rays scored five runs in a span of three pitches to beat Texas 10-8 on Monday night, ending the Rangers’ eight-game home winning streak.
Steven Souza Jr. had four hits with four runs scored for Tampa Bay, while Evan Longoria’s four RBIs included a two-run homer.
Pinch-hitter Colby Rasmus hit a two-run double on the first pitch thrown by reliever Tony Barnette (1-1), tying the game at 7-all before a no-pitch intentional walk to Kevin Kiermaier, who had already struck out three times. Beckman then hit a 1-0 pitch over the 14-foot wall in left-center field for his eighth homer of the season.
