Brandon Lowe was a major contributor to the 6-3 Tampa Bay win over Oakland. The Rays second baseman was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Yonny Chirinos earned the win for Tampa Bay. He lasted 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 5-5. Nick Anderson got the save, his 12th in 15 chances.

With Tampa Bay leading 3-2 in the bottom of the third, Lowe hit a fastball from Jesus Luzardo for a 2-run home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Rays ahead, 5-2.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Lowe. "And not try to do too much."

The triumph puts Tampa Bay at 41-39 for the season.
