Lowe Slugs 2 Home Runs, Rays Beat Blue Jays, 9-7
Brandon Lowe added some punch to the Tampa Bay offense, helping them outmuscle the Toronto Blue Jays, 9-7. In the game, Lowe, who is rated as the 38th best prospect by BNN, went 2-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Fernando Rodney picked up the win in relief for Tampa Bay, while Dave Stieb took the loss. Tampa Bay goes to 3-0 with the win.

The Blue Jays had been locked in a 6-6 tie with the Rays going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 27-year old shortstop Ben Zobrist came to the plate. Zobrist hit a 2-run double on a 2-2 slider from Toronto hurler Casey Janssen. It was Zobrist's 3rd double of the year.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Lowe.
