MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nick Fortes hit a tiebreaking two-out double off Trevor Megill in the ninth inning as the Tampa Bay Rays edged the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Monday night.
Milwaukee took its first loss after opening the season with a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox.
Megill (0-1) retired the first two batters he faced and had a 1-2 count on Jonny DeLuca before walking him. Fortes sent a first-pitch fastball into the gap in right-center to bring home DeLuca.
Ian Seymour hit Sal Frelick with a pitch to start the bottom of the ninth before retiring the next two batters. Kevin Kelly picked up his first save by getting Blake Perkins to ground out.
All the runs before the ninth came on homers.
Yandy Díaz continued his blistering start by leading off the game by sending a 1-2 pitch from Kyle Harrison over the left-field wall. Díaz, who also singled in the second, is 11 for 20 this season.
