CLEVELAND — Brandon Lowe homered, Tampa Bay's bullpen held Cleveland to one hit over seven innings and the Rays snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Guardians. Lowe connected for his 18th homer in the first inning. The Rays were swept earlier this week in a three-game series at Philadelphia. They improved to 3-4 on their 10-game trip, which started in Baltimore and finishes Sunday in Cleveland. Tampa Bay will be the first MLB team to face three division leaders on the same trip in September or later. The Guardians missed a chance to increase their division lead over idle second-place Kansas City.
