ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The way the Rays rallied in the ninth inning Tuesday, scoring two runs with two outs on just their second, third and fourth hits of the night, it seemed like the game was headed for a wild finish.

And it was, a 7-6 win in 13 innings.

After rallying to tie again in the 10th and 11th innings, the Rays came from behind again and won it in the 13th.

Richie Palacios doubled off Carson Fulmer with two outs to score the tying run, and after the Angels intentionally walked Isaac Paredes and unintentionally put on Harold Ramirez to load the bases, Amed Rosario delivered the game-winner with an infield single.

The win improved the Rays to 10-8 and kept them from what would have been another frustrating loss.

Each team got a run in the 10th.

 

The Angels played for the one run in the top half, with Logan O’Hoppe bunting Aaron Hicks, the runner placed at second under the extra-inning rules, over to third. With Luis Rengifo at the plate, the Angels got the run on a wild pitch by closer Pete Fairbanks.

Down 4-3, the Rays tried a similar strategy as Rene Pinto bunted Jose Siri to third. When Yandy Diaz tapped a ball back to the mound, Siri looked to be caught between third and home. But Angels reliever Jose Cisnero looked at him and then went for the out at first, throwing wildly past the base. That allowed Siri to make it 4-4.

In the 11th, Jason Adam loaded the bases by hitting Zach Neto and walking Anthony Rendon. He retired Mike Trout on a soft liner, but then allowed a deep fly ball by Taylor Ward. Siri made a leaping catch at the wall, keeping the Angels to just the one run.

The Rays got even again.
