LOS ANGELES -- Evan Longoria homered and the Tampa Bay Rays snapped a four-game slide with a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday before 43,576 at Dodger Stadium.

The Rays (39-61) won for first time in five career games at the park and halted a three-game winning streak by the Dodgers (57-45).

Rays lefty Matt Moore allowed a run on four hits with five strikeouts and four walks in 6 2/3 innings. Moore (7-7), who worked at least six innings for a 10th consecutive start, avenged a May 3 loss to the Dodgers, who tagged him for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings in a 10-5 win.

Closer Alex Colome earned his 22nd save in 23 opportunities with a perfect ninth.

Dodgers starter Brandon McCarthy wasn't as fortunate. McCarthy (2-1) lasted four innings, giving up three runs on four hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. He threw 83 pitches (51 strikes) before being relieved by Louis Coleman in the fifth.

McCarthy was 5-0 in eight previous starts in a Dodger uniform.

Rays first baseman Logan Morrison recorded the defensive play of the game, chasing down a Howie Kendrick foul ball and catching it while tumbling into the stands to end the seventh inning.

A throwing error led to the Dodgers scoring the game's first in the second inning. Joc Pederson drew a two-out walk and advanced to third on a single by A.J. Ellis. Ellis' steal of second forced an errant throw by catcher Luke Maile that allowed Pederson to score.

After Brad Miller led off the fourth with a double, Longoria crushed a 3-2 McCarthy pitch that landed into the Dodgers' bullpen in left for two-run blast and a 2-1 Rays' edge. It was Longoria's 23rd home run this season and the first long ball by a Rays player at Dodger Stadium in five career games.

An RBI double by Maile with two outs in the inning scored Steven Souza Jr. to increase the margin to 3-1.
