Peter Lambert went 5.2 innings without allowing a run, and the Rays never answered. Christian Walker's 20th home run came on the first pitch he saw in the fourth — a 92.8 mph fastball. Isaac Paredes added his 12th an inning later on an 85.4 mph changeup. Mason Englert struck out nine and took the loss, which is the particular cost of two swings on a night your offense manages four hits. Tampa Bay left six on base and committed two errors. Josh Hader walked one and struck out two in the ninth.
