ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Johnny DeLuca had three RBIs in his season debut after being sidelined by a broken right hand, Amed Rosario had three hits and two RBIs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Mets 10-8 on Friday night.
DeLuca drove in two with a single off Jose Quintana (1-3) during a five-run third as Tampa Bay took an 8-3 lead. He had an RBI grounder in a three-run second as the Rays won for just the third time in 11 games.
“Arguably our best hitting of the season there, so encouraged by that,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “We needed every bit of it.”
Yandy Díaz also had two RBIs to help Cash get his 754th victory to tie Joe Maddon for the most in franchise history.
Randy Arozarena, mired in a season-long slump, made it 9-3 with a fourth-inning solo homer. The 2023 AL All-Star is hitting .145.
“It’s good to see all these runs being scored,” Arozarena said through a translator. “We haven’t been scoring too many runs.”
