Homers in win Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a single in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Twins.
Impact Lowe became the sixth different Ray to homer off the Twins on Saturday, smacking his 32nd home run of the year off Ian Gibaut in the fourth inning. If the posterchild for Tampa Bay's swing-for-the-fences philosophy is Mike Zunino, Lowe is right behind him. The utilityman is hitting just .231 but is tied with Jose Ramirez and Matt Olson for seventh in all of baseball in long balls.

Takes seat Wednesday Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The newly recalled Taylor Walls will step in at the keystone for the lefty-hitting Lowe, who heads to the bench with a tough southpaw (Chris Sale) on the hill for Boston. The Rays will face another lefty (Eduardo Rodriguez) in Thursday's series finale, so Lowe won't be a lock to be included in the lineup for that contest, either.
