Jose Siri hit a two run homer in the top of the 8th inning to bring the Tampa Bay Rays from behind and give them a 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Brandon Lowe of the Rays had hit a two run homer in the top of the 7th to tie the game before the Cubs regained the lead. Ian Happ and Trey Mancini had RBIs for the Cubs, who won two of the three games in the interleague series, but lost starter Justin Steele to a 3rd inning forearm injury. The Rays become the first MLB team to 40 wins on the season. The Cubs are idle Thursday before heading to San Diego to open up a four game wraparound series Friday against the Padres at Petco Park. Hear the game Friday on Lite 103 WAKO beginning with the pregame show at 8:05 p.m. CT. with the play-by-play at 8:40 p.m.
