The Tampa Bay<\/a> offense hadn’t done anything all night and Josh Lowe wasn’t due up at the plate until the sixth batter of the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say the situation didn’t look great. But almost immediately upon coming back to the dugout after the eighth, the right fielder grabbed his helmet and batting gloves. There’s a reason the Rays have the best record in the majors and he figured he might be needed.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, Lowe was the man who delivered a two-out, two-run double in the ninth to lead Tampa Bay to a 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

“I had my helmet and batting gloves on from the first batter of the inning,” Lowe said. “Just ready to go no matter what happens. If I get up to hit, try to do something to help the team win. I was ready to go.”<\/p>\n

The Rays were in danger of losing the best record in the big leagues to the Atlanta Braves<\/a>, but Lowe’s big swing meant Tampa Bay gets to keep the spot it has held since starting the season with 13 straight wins.<\/p>\n

“Really clutch \u2014 I’m happy for Josh,” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash. “We have a number of guys who are kind of grinding through it right now, and he’s probably one of them. He put a charge into one and picked us up with obviously the biggest hit of the game.”<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay trailed 2-0 entering the ninth, but Yandy D\u00edaz and Wander Franco started the inning with singles off Scott McGough. Luke Raley cut the lead to 2-1 with a single through the right side that brought home D\u00edaz.<\/p>\n

McGough briefly recovered, striking out Randy Arozarena and getting Isaac Paredes to line out, but Lowe hammered an 0-1 fastball into the left center gap that scored Franco and Raley.<\/p>\n

McGough (0-6) had thrown 22 1\/3 consecutive scoreless innings coming into Wednesday’s game.<\/p>\n

“The ninth inning is what makes this game so beautful,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. “You love it and you can hate it at the same time.”<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the ninth, Franco made a diving catch at shortstop on a ground ball, firing to first for the first out. Pete Fairbanks earned his ninth save. D\u00edaz had three of the team’s six hits.<\/p>\n

The Rays’ comeback negated a great outing from Arizona’s Zach Davies, who had his best start of the season with seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball. The right-hander came into the game with a 7.82 ERA in seven starts, but coaxed the normally hard-hitting Rays into soft contact all night.<\/p>\n

“He gave us seven incredible innings,” Lovullo said.<\/p>\n

Davies’ breakout game came at a very good time for the D-backs, who learned on Tuesday that they’ll be without standout right-hander Merrill Kelly for at least the next few weeks after a blood clot was found in his right calf.<\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead in the third after three straight two-out singles by Alek Thomas, Jake McCarthy and Ketel Marte. They increased that margin to 2-0 in the fourth on another two-out single, this one by Carson Kelly that brought home Christian Walker.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay right-hander Zach Eflin threw well, giving up two runs on seven hits over seven innings. He struck out seven. Colin Poche (6-2) threw a scoreless eighth.<\/p>\n

“Eflin was pretty special,” Cash said. “Any time a guy goes out there, that efficient, pretty dominant, gives up only two runs, we feel like we should do enough offensively to get him the win.”<\/p>\n

Even with the loss, Arizona is on a 96-win pace exactly halfway through the season. The D-backs lost 110 games just two seasons ago.<\/p>\n

1998 EXPANSION BATTLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks-Rays series is a rare matchup of the previous two MLB expansion teams<\/a>. Both came into the league in 1998 and are celebrating their 25th anniversary this season. The Rays hold a 14-10 advantage in the series.<\/p>\n
