ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Randy Arozarena hit a tying homer off Edwin Díaz with two outs in the ninth inning, Jonny DeLuca lined a two-run triple in the 10th and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Mets 7-6 for a three-game sweep. New York took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 10th when Harrison Bader scored on an error by first baseman Yandy Díaz. A slumping Arozarena pulled the Rays even at 5 with a two-out solo homer on a full-count pitch from Edwin Díaz, who had converted 26 consecutive save chances dating to 2022 — the longest active streak in the majors. Arozarena, a 2023 All-Star, is hitting .143. He struck out three times in his first four at-bats.
