Luke Raley was struck by a pitch from Peter Strzelecki leading off the 8th. Luke stole 2nd, went to 3rd on catcher William Contreras’ throwing mistake, and was home on Francisco’s fly to the left.
The Floridian franchise (33-13), who recorded 4-6 in their recent road games, now are 20-3 at their venue.
Milwaukee LHP Eric Lauer (4-4) will begin on Saturday. Tampa Bay will answer with RHP Zach Eflin (5-1).
