Brandon Lowe

On top of that, Lowe drew two walks for an absolute monster of a day for the 30-year-old. He set the tone in this one with a solo homer off Chris Bassitt in the first, and he's now up to 12 roundtrippers on the season. Lowe hasn't been a major helper in the average category with just a .251 mark even after the four-hit day, but he's getting on at a solid .346 clip with a .514 slugging mark along with 33 RBI. Long story short, he's been a solid fantasy option when he's been on the field.

The Blue Jays ended up getting trounced in this contest, but Bassitt was only a minor offender. He allowed five hits -- including a solo homer to Brandon Lowe -- while striking out six against one walk. Not a great outing for the 35-year-old, but it could have been a lot worse. Bassitt will take a 3.78 ERA into his start scheduled for Tuesday against the Orioles. He's an absolute must-start for Wedneday's tilt against the Marlins.

The Rays got to Berrios in the second inning when right fielder Josh Lowe singled to drive in Randy Arozarena. Berrios later fell victim to Brandon Lowe in the fifth inning when Lowe smashed a 408-foot homer to plate Richie Palacios and push the Rays' lead to 3-0. Berrios would strike out Randy Arozarena in the following at-bat but was pulled in favor of Brandon Little after tossing 97 pitches. If not for a flurry of walks, Berrios may have seen a longer outing. The veteran righty has allowed three or more earned runs in each of his last four starts and has been held under five innings in his last two outings. He'll hope for a better outing in his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Rangers.

Lowe hit a 408-foot shot off the Blue Jays' Jose Berrios to give the Rays a 3-0 lead. It was the 11th homer of the season for Lowe, who now has five homers in July and is slashing .281/.349/.579, is turning in his best month of the year and is hitting a solid .268 over the last two months. He's shown good consistency and power at the plate as of late after a slow start, and continues to offer plenty of fantasy upside to his managers.

Lowe has quietly managed an .830 OPS in 50 games this season. He's started just four times versus lefties, but he's actually hit them very well in limited action (11-for-30 with two homers). The Rays could consider going back to using him as a full-timer, but that might mean sitting the indispensable Taylor Walls.
