Rays 10, Mets 6
Jason Bartlett and Dioner Navarro celebrate after scoring on B.J. Upton's double in the fifth. (AP)
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
B.J. Upton went 4-for-6 with four RBIs and three runs scored while finishing a triple shy of the cycle, and his two-run homer in a four-run seventh put the Rays ahead to stay. Carl Crawford and Evan Longoria combined for seven hits, three RBIs and three runs scored behind Upton as part of Tampa Bay's 17-hit attack.
