PHOENIX (AP) — Christopher Morel hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 on Thursday night.
Arizona led 4-3 before Yandy Diaz hit a tying run-scoring single off Ryne Nelson in the ninth.
Edwin Uceta (2-1) induced an inning-ending double play in the bottom half and Junior Caminero put the Rays ahead with a run-scoring double off J.P. Feyereisen (0-1) in the 10th. Morel made it 7-4 with his third homer and Pete Fairbanks worked around a walk for his fourth save.
Tim Tawa hit a solo homer for Arizona.
Diamondbacks starter Corbin Burnes was perfect until Diaz led off the fourth with a single and José Caballero hit a run-scoring double off him in the fifth. Burnes was pulled with one out in the sixth after he fumbled Caminero’s comebacker with a runner on third. He was replaced by Jalen Beeks, who gave up Morel’s run-scoring double to pull the Rays to 4-3.
Burnes allowed three runs — one earned — on three hits with eight strikeouts and three walks.
The Diamondbacks jumped on Rasmussen early.
Josh Naylor hit a run-scoring single in the first inning and Arizona scored two more off the right-hander in the second, on Thomas’ double and Corbin Carroll’s RBI groundout. Tawa led off the fifth with his fourth homer to put the Diamondbacks up 4-1.
Rasmussen allowed four runs on five hits and struck out five in five innings.
Key moment
Uceta snared Eugenio Suárez’s liner in the ninth to start an inning-ending double play.
Key stat
The Diamondbacks, one of baseball’s best defensive teams, had three errors.
