Rookie Wade Davis battles through several early jams to pitch seven effective innings, Ben Zobrist drives in his 85th run and Carl Crawford steals his 60th base of the season as Tampa Bay clinches the second .500 record in franchise history. The Rays score two in the first on Zobrist's double and a single by Willy Aybar, who has three hits, and add insurance in the seventh on B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly following Reid Brignac's one-out triple.

Jose Lopez hits a tiebreaking homer off Dan Wheeler in the eighth inning as Seattle ends Tampa Bay's four-game winning streak and officially eliminates the Rays from postseason contention. Rookie of the year candidate Jeff Niemann, bidding for his 13th win for the fifth time, pitches effectively into the seventh inning but gets a no-decision. It is Niemann's fourth quality start (six or more innings, three or fewer runs) in that span.

Tampa Bay wastes a tremendous major-league debut by Wade Davis as Brandon Inge hits a ninth-inning grand slam off Russ Springer following walks issued by struggling Grant Balfour and J.P. Howell, giving Detroit a three-game sweep. Davis allowed only three hits in seven innings and struck out nine, a Rays record for a big-league debut, to outpitch former Ray Edwin Jackson. Lance Cormier threw only 17 pitches in getting four outs but was pulled with one out in the ninth as Balfour, Howell and Springer failed to record an out among them.
