Tampa Bay defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2, completing a three-game sweep. Zach Eflin delivered a strong performance on the mound for the Rays, pitching seven scoreless innings. Offensively, Randy Arozarena hit one of three home runs for Tampa Bay in the contest. This concluded a series against a small-budget Pirates team that had been off to an outstanding start to their season.
