Rays Collect 4-3 Win Over Royals
The Tampa Bay Rays found a way to sneak past the Kansas City Royals, 4-3, in 12 innings. Tampa Bay pitcher Scott Kazmir, for one, had a standout performance. J P Howell claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 2-0. Tampa Bay is now 15-20, Kansas City 14-18.

Tampa Bay got a knockout punch from Brandon Lowe. The second baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the 12th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Exciting game to play in," said Lowe. "Getting the win makes it even better."
