Frankie Montas earned the save for Tampa Bay, his 1st of the year.

The Rays got a big at-bat from center fielder A.J. Pollock. For the game, Pollock went 1 for 5 with a double, while adding 2 RBI. In the top of the third, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 6th double of the season gave Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead.

"We did a lot of things right," said Grossman.

With the win, Tampa Bay goes to 4-4.
