ST. PETERSBURG -- Behind home runs by [Brandon Lowe](https://www.mlb.com/player/brandon-lowe-664040) and
\n\n \n\n“I thought at that moment, the game was probably right there with the three-four-five hitters coming up,” Cash said. “He came in and got one big out and then three the following inning.”\n\nThe run allowed Monday was the first charged to the Rays' bullpen this season. Through five games, the bullpen has a 0.43 ERA in 21 innings.\n\n**Lowe and Kiermaier provide the power** \nThe Rays will depend on their pitching a lot this season, but Lowe and Kiermaier delivered with big home runs Monday.\n\nLowe, who was 0-for-10 to start the season, ended the skid with a two-run home run off Colorado starter Chad Bettis in the fourth inning to open the scoring. Lowe went 2-for-4 Monday with a pair of runs scored.\n\n“Anytime you hit the ball well and get hits, it’s always going to boost your confidence,” Lowe said. “But when things aren’t going your way, you really have to bear down and not get down on yourself.”\n\nKiermaier’s three-run home run in the sixth inning gave the Rays a comfortable 6-1 cushion. The Rays center fielder finished with four RBIs.
\n\n“Always feels good barreling balls up, but anytime you could score three runs and create that gap and make that a six-run game, that’s what felt really good,” Kiermaier said. “It’ll be nice to do that a couple more times this year.”\n\n
