Rays outlast Diamondbacks 7-6 in 11 innings, overcoming Carroll's 2 HRs

PHOENIX (AP) — Kameron Misner and Yandy Díaz had RBI doubles in the 11th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays held on for a 7-6 victory over Arizona on Wednesday night, overcoming Corbin Carroll's two home runs.

Misner drove in Chandler Simpson with a double off Drey Jameson (0-1), but was thrown out trying for a triple. Jonathan Aranda walked and scored on a two-out double by Díaz.

Eric Orze surrendered an RBI single to Alek Thomas leading off the bottom half, then walked Tim Tawa. Carroll drew a one-out walk to load the bases, but Orze induced Geraldo Perdomo to hit into a game-ending double play for his first career save.

Pete Fairbanks (2-1) got the final two outs in the 10th for the win.

Carroll homered on the third pitch from Rays starter Taj Bradley. Carroll added his ninth of the season with a two-run shot off Mason Montgomery for a 5-4 lead in the seventh.

Díaz had a two-run single in the seventh to give Tampa Bay a 4-3 lead. Chandler Simpson's RBI single tied it at 5.

Christopher Morel hit a homer off Eduardo Rodriguez in the second to tie it. Misner had a two-out double and scored on José Caballero's single for a 2-1 lead.

Tampa Bay won for the second time in eight games and improved to 1-4 on the road.

Arizona reliever Ryan Thompson yielded the tying run in the eighth and had the bases loaded with nobody out. He struck out pinch-hitter Jonathan Aranda and Caballero before getting Diaz to fly out.

Arizona's Carroll, Geraldo Perdomo, Pavin Smith and Josh Naylor began the day with an MLB-best .961 OPS from the first four spots in the order. The Diamondbacks entered with an .832 OPS against right-handers — tops in the majors.

RHP Drew Rasmussen (1-1, 0.87) was set to start for the Rays on Thursday night against Diamondbacks RHP Corbin Burnes (0-1, 4.64).

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Morez Johnson Jr. scored a career-high 29 points, including 17 in the first half, and No. 2 Michigan beat No. 24 Southern California 96-66 on Friday night.

Roddy Gayle Jr. added 12 points for the Wolverines (13-0, 3-0 Big Ten), and Will Tschetter, Trey McKenney and L.J. Cason each scored 10.

Michigan is off to its best start since it won 17 straight games to start the 2018-19 season.

Jaden Brownell scored 16 points and Erza Ausar added 15 for the Trojans (12-2, 1-2), whose only previous loss was by eight points against Washington on Dec. 6. Chad Baker-Mazara, who came into the game averaging 21 points, was hampered by early foul trouble and finished with 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting.

Michigan starting guard Nimari Burnett was helped from the court with 16:25 left after falling during a battle under the basket. He went down to the floor and appeared to be bleeding above his eyebrow and holding his ankle. He sat on the bench the rest of the night.

The Wolverines bolted out to an 11-0 lead thanks to a defense that forced six early turnovers. USC got within five points twice in the first half and Michigan responded with a 32-19 run to build a 49-31 halftime advantage.

USC got no closer the rest of the way.

USC: At No. 9 Michigan State on Monday.

Michigan: Visits Penn State on Tuesday.
