Rays slip past Braves on Kiermaier's homer

Kiermaier's home run proved to be the only blemish for Atlanta starter Williams Perez, who received the loss -- his third of the season -- despite surrendering just four hits in a complete-game effort.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Everything's A-OK: After being held out of the lineup Sunday with a jammed thumb, Kiermaier showed that the injury was no longer a problem when he turned on a 1-2 changeup from Perez for the game-winning home run. The two-run shot was his fifth home run of the season, and his first since June 3 against the Angels.
