Lowe Hits Two Homers in 16-6 Win for Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay Rays relied on the hitting of right fielder Josh Lowe to stop the Kansas City Royals, 16-6. For the game, Lowe was 4-4 with 2 home runs, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 7 RBI and scoring twice. The winner in relief was Aaron Civale. He is now 2-1. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 2.2 innings. Tampa Bay, at 55-30, is 5 games up in the American League East Division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Isaac Paredes? The Tampa Bay third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Rays on top, 6-3. For the game, Paredes had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Michael Jank.
