It was another tight game at American Family Field on Monday night, but this one did not go in the Milwaukee Brewers' direction.

Brewers reliever Trevor Megill gave up a two-out double to the Tampa Bay Rays' Nick Fortes, who knocked in Jonny DeLuca as the Rays picked up a 3-2 win.

Kyle Harrison was outstanding for Milwaukee, going five innings and allowing just one run, which was earned. He walked one and struck out eight Rays batters on the night.

With the loss, Milwaukee's early-season record drops to 3-1.

The Rays jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning as Yandy Díaz connected for his first homer this season, a shot that went over the left-field wall.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, though, the Brew Crew rallied. Brice Turang, who has been hitting pretty good early this season, connected four his fourth double of the season. 

Then William Contreras connected for his first home run this season, a shot that went over the center-field wall. Turang scored and that gave Milwaukee a 2-1 lead.

Well, the Rays managed to tie the game back up. Tampa Bay's Jonny DeLuca connected for a solo home run off of Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby. DeLuca's blast went over the left-center field wall at American Family Field.

That tied things up at 2-2 until the Rays put together their ninth-inning rally.

Garrett Cleavinger picked up the win in relief for the Rays, and Kevin Kelly notched his first save this season.

The Brewers tried to rally in the bottom of the ninth inning. Sal Frelick was hit by a pitch and reached first base. But Garrett Mitchell struck out, David Hamilton flew out to left field, and Blake Perkins grounded into a game-ending forceout.

Milwaukee and Tampa Bay go at it again on Tuesday night, then finish up their three-game series with a Wednesday afternoon matchup.

After a travel day on Thursday, the Brewers will then open up a three-game weekend series against the Kansas City Royals.

Despite the loss, the Brewers remain in good position to have a solid season. Their opening three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox put them in good stead going into the Rays series.

There's still a lot of season left, so a loss on Monday night isn't going to hurt Milwaukee's chances at winning another National League Central Division title one bit.

But Brewers manager Pat Murphy probably will go over what might have not worked on Monday night and tweak a few things. Murphy is one of the best managers in baseball, and he still believes in his team despite a Monday night loss.
