The Tampa Bay Rays gave themselves a shot going into the bottom of the ninth Monday against the Astros. But with the bases loaded and one out in a 4-3 game, third baseman Alex Bregman lifted Houston to a 12th straight win, which tied a franchise record for longest winning streak.

The ninth inning started with a Marwin Gonzalez walk, which brought the winning run to the plate. Catcher Max Stassi hit a single to keep the train rolling and put the go-ahead run on first. After a Tony Kemp sacrifice, both runners were in scoring position with the top of the lineup coming up. George Spring got on thanks to a catcher's interference, and from there, the stage was set for Bregman to be the here.

Prior to his last at-bat of the night, he was 0-4 with a strikeout. However, he was able to make contact on a slider in a 1-1 count and drive the ball to the warning track in left center field to finish things up with his 22nd double of the season.

LEGEND. @ABREG_1 https://t.co/pnDrXOmmVw
