Baseball report: Rays score 4 in 11th, then hold on to beat Marlins

B.J. Upton and Reid Brignac drew bases-loaded walks and Jason Bartlett added a two-run single - all with two outs - in a four-run 11th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays then survived a three-run rally by the Marlins for a 9-8 win last night in Miami.

Chris Coghlan singled home two runs and Gaby Sanchez had an RBI single to move the Marlins within 9-8 and put runners on first and third with none out in the bottom of the 11th. But Lance Cormier picked up two strikeouts and got Dan Uggla to fly out.

Carl Crawford had four hits and scored three runs for the Rays. James Shields, making the first relief appearance of his 133-game career, threw a scoreless 10th and was one of nine Rays pitchers. The Rays (42-26) remained tied with the Yankees for the AL East lead and baseball's best record.
