ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Tyler Glasnow went seven strong innings, Brandon Lowe homered and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Miami Marlins 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Glasnow (4-3) allowed one run, two hits, two walks and struck out eight.

ā€œThe story was Glasnow,ā€ Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. ā€œHe was tough. Tough on our hitters. Couldn't get anything going against him tonight.ā€

Jason Adam and Pete Fairbanks completed the two-hitter, with Fairbanks working the ninth for his 12th save.

Lowe made it 4-1 with a sixth-inning solo drive off reliever George Soriano. The Rays improved to 5-14 in July.

ā€œI hope it kind of sets the ship right,ā€ Lowe said. ā€œKind of got out of control a little bit but hopefully lets people take a breath, relax and reset everything.ā€

Miamiā€™s Luis Arraez went 0 for 4 and had his major league-best batting average drop from .379 to .375.

The Marlins have lost nine of 10 overall, and dropped 10 straight on the road. Miami is 2-19 against the Rays, dating to May 14, 2019.

Yandy DĆ­az double in two runs during a three-run second off Edward Cabrera (5-6).

ā€œIt felt good when we went up three, 3-0,ā€ Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "I mean, we havenā€™t done that too many times here lately. So yeah, definitely. It felt good to score first."

DĆ­az left the game in the third with left groin tightness that occured when he made an extended stretch on second baseman Loweā€™s throw after fielding Jacob Stallingsā€™ grounder. He will have an MRI exam on Wednesday,

Cabrera, making his second start after missing five weeks a right shoulder impingement, was pulled after two innings and 53 pitches due to a blister on his right middle finger. He gave up three runs and four hits.

ā€œIt's weird, it kind of popped up pretty quick,ā€ Schumaker saiid of Cabrera, who had issues with a blister earlier this season. ā€œI think it's just more frustrating for him, right? Frustrating for us that we can't get that thing figured out.ā€

Soriano, who gave up one run and four hits in 3 1/3 innings, could be a candidate to fill-in if Cabrera can't make his next start.

Miami got to 3-1 in the third when Joey Wendle scored on Glasnow's wild pitch.

REACHING A MILLION

The announced crowd of 20,508 helped the Rays' become the 24th MLB team to reach one million in home attendance this season.

THIRD-BASE MISADVENTURES

Tampa Bay had three runners thrown out at third. Randy Arozarena was caught after straying down the line on a third-inning single, while Manuel Margot was unsuccessful in a bid to advance on a groundout during the fourth. Luke Raley was thrown out trying for a triple in the seventh.
