ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Randy Arozarena hit a tying homer off Edwin Díaz with two outs in the ninth inning, Jonny DeLuca lined a two-run triple in the 10th and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Mets 7-6 on Sunday for a three-game sweep. Automatic runner José Caballero stole third as Jake Diekman (1-1) walked Ben Rortvedt leading off the bottom of the 10th. Both runners scored when DeLuca’s line drive got past a diving Harrison Bader in center field. “I thought that was the right play there,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said of Bader’s try. “He’s one of the best defenders there is. He was aggressive. He thought he had a play and just came up short.” New York took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 10th when Bader scored on an error by first baseman Yandy Díaz, who was unable to make a clean catch on a low throw after Brandon Nimmo’s grounder was deflected by reliever Erasmo Ramírez (1-0). |
