The Tampa Bay Rays (9-7) beat the San Francisco Giants (6-10) 9-4 on Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field. The Rays have now won their last three series against the Rockies, Angels and now Giants.
After the Giants took a lead in the top of the first, Randy Arozarena answered with a RBI single in the bottom of the first to tie the game 1-1. Amed Rosario then hit a two-run homer that was upheld on review and the Rays never looked back.
Rene Pinto hit two home runs in this game, and Isaac Paredes hit a homer as well. Shawn Armstrong got the start and allowed one earned run in two innings of work, before Tyler Alexander (1-0, 6.46) worked six innings of two-run ball to get the win.
