Monday, 4 a.m.
Well, welcome back, Jonny DeLuca.
DeLuca, making his return from the injured list, homered for the second time in three games. He launched a two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh inning, bringing the Rays from behind and leading the Rays to a 4-3 win over Washington at Tropicana Field.
DeLuca, who missed almost two months with a hamstring injury, led the Rays back from a 3-1 deficit.
The Rays again squandered opportunities. They were just one-for-six with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base. But the homer from DeLuca and another from Randy Vilade helped the Rays rally to capture the series.
DeLuca and Yandy Diaz each had two hits for the Rays.
Nick Martinez went six innings and allowed three runs. Grant Cleavinger got the win for the Rays. Kevin Kelly got the save.
The Rays are home tonight against Kansas City at 6;40 p.m. at Tropicana Field. Drew Rasmussen (6-3) will start for the Rays against Michael Wacha (4-5).
