On nights such as this, you understand the devotion. For a franchise that is unafraid, and unapologetic, about reinventing itself from year to year, the Rays have held tight to one player longer than any other.

Brandon Lowe and Curtis Mead, two guys who struggled early for Tampa Bay, both homered on Friday in the Rays' 3-1 win. Drew Rasmussen pitched six scoreless innings for their third straight home win.

Brandon Lowe has feasted on the Toronto Blue Jays this season. Lowe will look to continue his torrid hitting on Saturday night when the Tampa Bay Rays turn to struggling Shane Baz in the second contest of their three-game series versus the visiting Blue Jays.
