The Rays responded in the bottom of the second, with Randy Arozarena hitting a home run to put Tampa Bay up by one. The Phillies quickly regained their composure, however, and managed to tie things up in the top of the third with a home run by Bryce Harper.
The game continued to be a back-and-forth battle, with both teams fighting hard to gain an advantage. The Rays managed to take the lead in the bottom of the fifth, with Brandon Lowe hitting a home run to put them up by one.
The Phillies refused to give up, however, and managed to tie things up once again in the top of the sixth with a home run by J.T. Realmuto. The game remained tied for the next few innings, with both teams struggling to gain any real momentum.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Rays managed to break the tie with a sacrifice fly by Manuel Margot, giving them a one-run lead. The Phillies had one more chance to tie things up in the top of the ninth, but they were unable to get anything going, and the Rays came away with the win.
Overall, the game was a great showcase of talent for both teams.
