ST. PETERSBURG -- There's something in the -- applesauce? -- at Tropicana Field.
That's what Jake Bauers credited for his three-run go-ahead home run in the eighth inning that propelled Tampa Bay to a 7-5 win on Saturday.
After the game, Bauers thanked teammate Brandon Lowe with supplying him with the clutch food. Lowe, who also hit a home run in the game, started eating applesauce before games while still at Triple-A Durham as a ritual.
"He swears by it," Bauers said Saturday.
