Having gone 6-6 on their four-city, 12-game, 14-day road trip, the Rays returned home on a long and unhappy flight 61-64 and 6 ½ games back — 1 ½ more than when they started the journey — of the third American League wild-card spot.

Dominic Smith hit a three-run single and Drew Gilbert and Tyler Fitzgerald added solo homers as the San Francisco Giants beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-1.

The Giants’ losing streak reached seven games — and 15 of 16 at home — despite seven shutout innings from Justin Verlander.

Yandy Díaz and Brandon Lowe hit consecutive two-out RBI singles in the eighth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied for the second straight day to beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1
