ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays took advantage of the Cincinnati Reds bullpen to score twice in the eighth inning for a 2-1 win. With one out, Reds reliever Fernando Cruz walked Yandy Diaz, Brandon Lowe reached on an infield single and Isaac Paredes walked. Cruz struck out Amed Rosario, but catcher Austin Wynns could not handle the pitch and pinch runner Jose Caballero scored to tie the game. Lucas Sims came in to replace Cruz and walked Richie Palacios to score Lowe. Garrett Cleavinger pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Pete Fairbanks earned his 20th save. Reds starter Hunter Greene gave up just two hits in seven scoreless innings. He had a no-hitter through 5 2/3 innings before Lowe hit a single to right field.
