BALTIMORE -- Steven Souza Jr. hit a three-run homer off Darren O'Day in the top of the 10th inning as the Tampa Bay Rays rallied for a 6-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.

Corey Dickerson walked to start the 10th and Logan Morrison drew a one-out intentional walk off O'Day (1-2). Souza crushed his three-run shot to center that gave Tampa Bay (42-40) a 6-3 lead.

Jumbo Diaz (1-3) got the win thanks to a scoreless ninth, and Alex Colome closed it in the 10th to earn his 21st save despite allowing a solo homer to Mark Trumbo.

The score was tied at 2 when Adam Jones lined a double to right off Rays starter Jake Faria to start the seventh. Jones went to third when Souza mishandled the ball in the corner and scored on a Trumbo single.

Tampa Bay then tied the game at 3 thanks to a two-out rally in the ninth against Baltimore closer Brad Brach.

Pinch-hitter Shane Peterson walked, went to second on a balk. Pinch-runner Peter Bourjos moved to third on a wild pitch and then scored on Adeiny Hechavarria's fourth single of the night, which forced extra innings.

Faria allowed three runs on just those four hits in 6 2/3 innings in his fifth major league start.

Chris Tillman of Baltimore (39-40) saw his winless streak stretch to 10 starts despite a strong performance. The right-hander allowed two runs on seven hits in five-plus innings and left with the Orioles trailing, 2-1.

Joey Rickard (two RBIs) tied the game at 2-2 with a solo homer leading off the bottom half of the sixth, which set up the late-inning dramatics.

Ramos gave the Rays a 2-0 lead in the second with his first homer of the season, a two-run shot on a 1-2 pitch off Tillman. The catcher missed most of the first three months of the season while recovering from a torn ACL.

The Orioles cut that lead in half when Joey Rickard lined an RBI double to left-center in the third, their first hit of the game off Faria.
