MIAMI (AP) _ Fred McGriff hit two solo home runs and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays rallied against Ryan Dempster to beat the Florida Marlins 8-3 Friday night.

Bubba Trammell drove in three runs as Tampa Bay improved to 6-4 in interleague play. The start of the game was delayed by rain for 33 minutes.

Dempster (9-5), the Marlins' representative in Tuesday's All-Star game, struck out 11 in 6 2-3 innings.

The Devil Rays scored three times with two outs in the sixth to take a 5-3 lead. Trammell hit an RBI triple and Vinny Castilla and Felix Martinez singled home runs.

Trammell's double in the seventh drove in Greg Vaughn, who had singled. Miguel Cairo hit an RBI single in the ninth and Trammell drove in another run with a grounder.

Albie Lopez (5-6) allowed three runs in 5 2-3 innings. Jim Mecir pitched two innings for his first save.

McGriff homered leading off the second, then hit his 17th home run to start the fourth.

McGriff has 406 career home runs, tying him with Duke Snider for 30th on the all-time list.

Florida took a 3-2 lead in the fifth on Derrek Lee's two-run homer. Mike Lowell singled and Lee connected for his 18th homer.

The Marlins scored once in the fourth. Luis Castillo singled, stole second and advanced to third on catcher's John Flaherty's throwing error, and scored on Mark Kotsay's sacrifice fly.

Notes: Dempster is the first Canadian pitcher to be selected to the All-Star game since Ferguson Jenkins in 1972. ... The rain delay was only the Marlins' second this season. At this point last year, the Marlins had eight rain delays. ... Vaughn was activated from the disabled list prior to the game. To make room, the Devil Rays placed INF Bobby Smith on the 15-day disabled list after injuring his right knee in a collision with Detroit first baseman Robert Fick on Wednesday. ... National League opposition is far from strange for most Devil Rays' players. The Devil Rays currently have 19 players on the roster who have played in the NL.
