James Loney knocked in one run with a sacrifice fly in the third before Johnson hit a 3-2 pitch by Hammel just over the right-field wall as the Rays edged in front 5-3.

Johnson came through again in the fifth, singling home Loney to end Hammel’s evening. The Rays tacked on three more runs in the fifth on a ground-rule RBI double by Escobar and a two-run single by Jennings off reliever Alex Burnett for a 9-3 lead.
