Of those four Rays hits, second baseman Brandon Lowe recorded half of them, as he continues his hot hitting. Yandy Diaz and Chandler Simpson knocked the other two. Since May 13, Lowe is the fifth best hitter in baseball with a 167 wRC+ (min. 150 PA).

The Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays continue their series this evening at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. After a night when Springs didn’t have his best stuff, Bido ran out of gas and the A’s hitters could not seem to put hits together with any consistency, we hope they can turn things around tonight.

Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero hit back-to-back home runs, and Ryan Pepiot went 6 1/3 innings as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Athletics 7-4 on Monday night. Lowe's 23rd and Caminero's 33rd home runs of the season stretched a 6-1 Rays lead in the seventh inning that was cut to three in the bottom half.
