ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash was impressed by another Rays comeback win, but he wouldn’t mind a few early leads.

Curt Casali capped a six-run seventh inning with a two-run homer and the Rays rallied for a 9-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.

Casali had just one hit in 26 at-bats since consecutive two-homer games against Detroit on July 27-28.

Tampa Bay has won four in a row, including three when trailing 3-0. The Rays also had comeback wins Saturday and Sunday over the New York Mets.

“I’m ready to have a 3-0 lead and maintain it,” Cash said with a smile. “It speaks volumes about the club. We’ll take them anyway we can get them.”
