RHP Jason Isringhausen rejoined the Rays after being activated from the disabled list and looked good in his first appearance.
Isringhausen, 36, was sharp in a scoreless ninth, throwing 14 of his 17 pitches for strikes while giving up just one hit. It was his first appearance in the majors since Aug. 16 for St. Louis.
"It was nice to be out there; I had nerves, believe me," Isringhausen said. "It started in the second and third inning because I didn't know when I'd be used. To get out there and get one out of the way was good."
Maddon said "there's no holding back with (Isringhausen) at all" and is comfortable using him in many situations from the seventh to ninth innings. "He looked good, he looked healthy," Maddon said. "He threw strikes. … Fastball was fine, good breaking ball, some good cutters."
