Jonny DeLuca's RBI single in the 10th won it for Tampa Bay.
Jose Miranda hit a game-tying three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but Jonny DeLuca's RBI single in the 10th was enough for the Tampa Bay Rays to escape the series finale with a 7-6 victory Thursday afternoon at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Josh Lowe hit an RBI double in the eighth inning to plate the go-ahead run for the Rays, who then found a trio of runs off a pair of homers in the ninth inning to appear well on their way to a victory. But Rays reliever Chris Devenski gave up a leadoff 386-foot solo homer to Santana in the bottom of the inning, then a double to Byron Buxton before issuing a walk to Kyle Farmer, which ended his day. Pete Fairbanks came on in relief, but he gave up a three-run shot to Miranda.
The Rays took a 2-1 lead in the top of the inning when Brandon Lowe hit a sacrifice fly to right field that scored Alex Jackson, who led off the frame with a double to left field.
