Rays 7, Rangers 6
David Price struck out four Rangers in five innings Saturday. (Mike Fuentes/AP)
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
The Rays' offense was quiet early, but they began their comeback in the eighth inning with back-to-back RBI singles by Ben Zobrist and Willy Aybar. The attack continued in the ninth as Zobrist singled again with the bases loaded to tie the game. Francisco Perez dropped a sacrifice bunt to score the go-ahead run.
