Lowe hits 2-run home run

Brandon Lowe's two-run home run in the fifth inning propelled the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in the series opener on Tuesday night. The Rays, now 51-50, capitalized on three stolen bases and effective pitching, with Shawn Armstrong starting and Tyler Alexander contributing three scoreless innings. Toronto's José Berríos struggled, allowing three runs and tying a career-high with six walks over 4 2/3 innings. Despite a late comeback attempt with back-to-back homers from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Justin Turner, the Blue Jays fell to 45-55. The win marked the Rays' fourth victory in five games, while the Blue Jays have lost five of their last seven. Pete Fairbanks secured the win with his 19th save of the season.
