Harris finished the game 3-for-4 , including a triple, while Carl Crawford went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs for Tampa Bay, which had 16 hits.

Devil Rays starter Edwin Jackson left in the fifth with cramping and fatigue in his right index finger tendon. He allowed just two runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings but remained winless on the season. If Jackson, who is 0-8 and hasn't won a major league game in 1 1/2 years, had gotten one more batter he would have received the win.

Instead, Jason Hammel (1-0) earned the win after tossing 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

Orlando Hudson was 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Diamondbacks, who lost for the first time in four games.
