Cedric Mullins, Rays outlast rain, Pirates in 13-inning win

  • On Saturday, Cedric Mullins hit a two-run, 403-foot leadoff home run in the top of the 13th inning to lift the Tampa Bay Rays past the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 in Pittsburgh.
  • Pittsburgh took an early 4-0 lead behind two-run home runs from Ryan O'Hearn and Marcell Ozuna, but a 2-hour, 27-minute rain delay halted play before the Rays rallied with five runs in the fifth inning.
  • Despite four scoreless innings from Pirates ace Paul Skenes, Tampa Bay's Jonny DeLuca and Mullins combined for five RBIs to overcome the deficit in the four-hour, 12-minute contest.
  • Securing his first save of the season, Yoendrys Gomez struck out Joey Bart with runners on second and third in the bottom of the 13th to preserve the narrow win for the Rays.
  • Rays LHP Shane McClanahan will face Pirates RHP Mitch Keller on Sunday in the series finale, setting up the conclusion to the rain-soaked matchup.
