ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The bottom of the Tampa Bay Rays lineup provided the power Thursday night.
Derek Norris homered in consecutive innings and Jake Odorizzi pitched into the seventh, leading the Rays to a 7-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Peter Bourjos and Colby Rasmus also homered for the Rays.
"You're not always going to get contributions from the middle of the order," said Bourjos, whose third homer of the season was the third of the game off White Sox starter Derek Holland (4-6). "Fortunately the bottom of the order stepped up tonight."
The White Sox, who have lost seven of eight, came back from a 6-0 deficit with the help of home runs by Avisail Garcia and Todd Frazier.
