ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Trade acquisition Christopher Morel homered in his Tampa Bay debut, helping the new-look Rays come from behind to beat the Miami Marlins 9-3. Ben Rortvedt and Yandy Diaz each contributed two-run singles off reliever Declan Cronin during a five-run sixth inning that propelled the Rays to a 6-3 lead. Jose Caballero added an RBI double, then stole home to extend the lead in the seventh. Morel was acquired Sunday in a trade that sent All-Star infielder Isaac Paredes to Chicago. He homered to left center field off Marlins starter Edward Cabrera leading off the fourth inning.
