KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zack Littell pitched five innings of four-hit ball before the rain arrived, four Tampa Bay relievers allowed one run the rest of the way, and the Rays beat beat the Royals 5-1. Brandon Lowe homered, Isaac Paredes drove in a pair of runs and Richie Palacios had three hits, drove in a run and scored from third on a wild pitch. That was the only run for either team before the 2 1/2-hour delay. The Rays tacked on three runs off the Royals bullpen once play resumed. Bobby Witt Jr. had KC's only run with a homer in the sixth inning.
