Rays come back; It's 9-9

Gomes goes yard, a drive well over the left field wall, to bring the Rays back to within a run in the top of the eighth.

Reds 9, Rays 8

Jeff Bannon, a minor leaguer called up for the game, singled.

Elliot Johnson followed with a double down the left field line and Bannon scored all the way from first, sliding home ahead of the tag.

Rays 9, Reds 9

Evan Longoria pinch-hit and struck out to end the inning.

The Rays locker room is about to open, so I'm heading down to talk to Garza, Percival and Maddon as soon as the game ends.
