The Rays lead the majors with 43 come-from-behind wins, due largely to their majors-most 278 runs from the seventh inning on, including 100 in the eighth and 74 in the ninth. Austin Meadows is three RBIs from being the Rays’ first to 100 since Longoria in 2010. (Nelson Cruz has 30 for the season, but only 11 with the Rays.) Previously to do so: Jose Canseco (34) and Fred McGriff (32) in 1999, Carlos Pena (39) and Evan Longoria (33) in 2009, Longoria (36) and Brad Miller (30) in 2016, Logan Morrison (38) and Steven Souza Jr. X-no longer with Rays i-out for season with injury m-currently in minors 30-30 Powerballīrandon Lowe has 33 homers, and when Mike Zunino (29) hits another the Rays will have just their fifth duo of 30-homer players.
