ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Carl Crawford hit a two-run single that capped a three-run ninth inning and lifted the Tampa Bay Devil Rays over the Cleveland Indians 6-5.

Crawford’s one-out single with the bases loaded off Jason Davis helped the Devil Rays complete a comeback from a 5-1 deficit and win for just the 10th time in 33 games since the All-Star break.

Travis Lee opened the ninth with a double off Brian Sikorski (1-1) and took third on pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro’s single. One out later, Rocco Baldelli’s single cut the Devil Rays’ deficit to 5-4.

Davis relieved and loaded the bases with a walk to Ben Zobrist. Crawford followed with his single down the right-field line.

Seth McClung (4-11) pitched a perfect ninth, completing a seven-hitter. Starter Casey Fossum struck out 10 in 6 1-3 innings, allowing five runs, six hits and three walks.

Travis Hafner homered and drove in three runs for the Indians. C.C. Sabathia allowed three runs and eight hits in eight innings.

Hafner’s 36th homer put the Indians ahead in the first – his 14th against a left-handed pitcher. It also was his team-record 33rd homer as a designated hitter, one more than he hit last year and Ellis Burks had in 2002.

Ben Zobrist’s RBI grounder tied it in the bottom half, but Hafner put the Indians ahead 3-1 in the third with a two-run single. He has three homers and 14 RBIs during a nine-game hitting streak.

Hafner, 4-for-4 with two homers in his career against Fossum, was intentionally walked by the left-hander in the fifth. Grady Sizemore stopped an 0-for-14 slide earlier in the inning with an RBI double.

Andy Marte’s first major league homer extended the lead to 5-1 in the seventh.

Travis Lee hit a solo homer in the seventh and Jonny Gomes, in an 11-for-94 slide, had a run-scoring double in the eighth.

Notes: Tampa Bay 3B B.J. Upton, who strained his left shoulder swinging and missing at a pitch from Toronto’s A.J. Burnett on Thursday night, was out of the lineup and is expected to be sidelined until at least Monday … Indians SS Jhonny Peralta stopped an 0-for-17 slump with an eighth-inning single.
