Rays' Brandon Lowe: Keeps raking with four hits
Rotowire
Lowe went 4-for-4 with two walks, a solo homer, two doubles, three total RBI and two runs during Thursday's 13-0 win over Toronto.
Lowe reached base in all six of his plate appearances and generated his first four-hit game of the season. The 29-year-old's first-inning homer was the fourth in his last seven games. Lowe has gone 20-for-64 (.313) with six home runs, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI in July.
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
Lowe popped his 11th home run of the season, 10 of which have come since the beginning of June. The start to his season was erased by an oblique injury, but he's maintained a .268 average with 10 home runs, 22 RBI and 21 runs scored across his last 35 games.
Lowe isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Left-hander Nestor Cortes will draw the start on the mound for New York, so the lefty-hitting Lowe will take a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. In his place, Curtis Mead will serve as the designated hitter and bat third.
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Guardians.
Lowe had the first half of his season disrupted by oblique and toe injuries, but he appears to be finding his timing at the plate. Since June 1, he's hit .287 with eight home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored. Lowe will continue to sit regularly against lefties, but he should be locked into the top third of the lineup for most games against right-handed pitching.
