Moore pitches Rays to their 1st win at Dodger Stadium, 3-1

LOS ANGELES -- Matt Moore pitched four-hit ball into the seventh inning, Evan Longoria hit a two-run homer and the Tampa Bay Rays won at Dodger Stadium for the first time, 3-1 over Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Luke Maile had an RBI double in a three-run fourth inning as Tampa Bay wrapped up a nine-game West Coast road swing by snapping a four-game skid.

The Rays were swept in a three-game series at Chavez Ravine in 2013, the only other time they've visited the Dodgers' hallowed home turf.

Moore (7-7) performed admirably against the Dodgers, who are thought to be interested in several Tampa Bay starters. The left-hander struck out five and allowed an unearned run.

Brandon McCarthy (2-1) lasted just four innings for the Dodgers in his first loss since Sept. 23, 2014.

Alex Colome pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save in 23 chances, rebounding nicely from his first blown save of the season last Saturday at Oakland.

The Dodgers' three-game winning streak ended with a meager offensive effort. Howie Kendrick had two of Los Angeles' five hits, all singles.

McCarthy allowed four hits and three runs with seven strikeouts in the shortest start of his otherwise strong comeback from Tommy John surgery.

After managing just one single in the first three innings, the Rays jumped on McCarthy in the fourth. Brad Miller chipped a leadoff double down the right-field line and scored on Longoria's 23rd homer of the season, his first at Dodger Stadium.

Steven Souza Jr. then drew a one-out walk and scored on Maile's double for a 3-1 lead.

BIG CATCH

Logan Morrison ended the seventh inning in spectacular fashion, tumbling into the stands to grab a foul pop by Kendrick. Morrison dislodged a large protective pad from the railing down the first-base line, but hung on to the ball while falling backward onto the concrete.

QUITE A STEAL

The Dodgers had an early lead thanks to the first stolen base in the 537-game big-league career of catcher A.J. Ellis.

Joc Pederson walked in the second inning and advanced to third on Ellis' single. When Ellis unexpectedly broke for second moments later, Maile tried to throw him out -- but the ball got away for an error, allowing Pederson to score.

Clayton Kershaw apparently made sure the Dodgers grabbed second base as a souvenir for Ellis, who has spent his entire nine-year career with Los Angeles.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Rays: RHP Alex Cobb will resume his rehab from Tommy John surgery on Friday. He had stopped throwing because of fatigue.

Dodgers: OF Yasiel Puig sat out again with an injured right hamstring. He hasn't played since last Friday, but isn't on the disabled list. ... LHP Brett Anderson will throw three innings at Class A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday in his return from lower back surgery.

UP NEXT

Rays: Jake Odorizzi (4-5, 4.10 ERA) is coming off the longest scoreless start of his career when Tampa Bay hosts the New York Yankees on Friday.

Dodgers: After a day off, Kenta Maeda (9-7, 3.25 ERA) takes the mound Friday for the opener of a weekend home series against Arizona.
