MIAMI -- Plenty of warts covered Tampa Bay's 9-6 win over Miami in 16 innings Tuesday night. Then again, an ugly win is still a win.
The Rays (43-42) have a chance to claim their fourth consecutive series after winning the longest road game in franchise history, which lasted 5 hours and 31 minutes.
Tampa Bay's winning rally almost went up in smoke before coming to fruition.
With the score tied at 4, which it had been since the fifth inning, Johnny Field singled off Brett Graves to open the 16th.
