June 19 (UPI) -- Brandon Lowe clobbered a pinch-hit, two-run homer to help the Tampa Bay Rays score 12 unanswered runs and climb out of an 8-0 deficit to stun the Baltimore Orioles in Tampa, Fla.

The Rays, who trailed 8-0 after two innings, scored three in the third, one in the fourth and four in the fifth and seventh innings of the 12-8 triumph Wednesday at George M. Steinbrenner Field. The rally resulted in the largest comeback in MLB this season and tied for the largest rally in Rays history.

"Pretty amazing, I don't know if I have the words," Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters. "I'm really impressed with them and proud of them. ... I'm really, really impressed with the way the offense stayed at it.

"It's easy to get frustrated when you're down in that type of hole."
