PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Vinny Castilla was relieved to finally come through in the clutch.

Castilla hit a two-run single off Jason Boyd with two outs in the 12th inning Monday night, leading the Devil Rays over the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3.

"To come through like that, it felt great," said Castilla, who is hitting just .214 this season. "I was looking for something close to the plate that I could get a good swing on."

Boyd (0-1) walked Randy Winn leading off, Gerald Williams sacrificed, Mike DiFelice grounded out and Fred McGriff was intentionally walked. After a wild pitch put runners on second and third, Castilla lined a single to center.

"You can't downplay the significance of that hit," Devil Rays manager Larry Rothschild said. "I've seen guys turn things around with one big hit."

Phillies manager Terry Francona opted to pitch to Castilla even though first base was open.

"I didn't even think of walking him," Francona said. "I didn't want to put Boyd in that position."

Mark Guthrie (1-0) pitched two innings of hitless relief, and Rick White pitched the 12th for his first save. Tampa Bay's bullpen didn't allow a hit in five innings, and completed a five-hitter.

"We pitched well tonight," Rothschild said. "When we do that we give ourselves a chance to win games."

Phillies starter Andy Ashby took a one-hitter into the eighth inning but couldn't hold a 3-1 lead.

Pinch-hitter Steve Cox doubled and third baseman Kevin Jordan threw wildly past first on Winn's ground for an error that allowed pinch-runner Ozzie Guillen to score.

Winn, who was credited with a single, took third on the error and scored on Williams' single.

"The problem was it was a tough play and he had to push to make it," Francona said. "Then the throw went into no man's land."

Williams was caught stealing but Jose Guillen reached on an error by shortstop Desi Relaford, who has four errors in the last three games and 15 this season. Mark Holzemer allowed a single to McGriff before Wayne Gomes struck out Castilla.

"Bottom line is you want to win the game," Ashby said.

The Devil Rays scored their first run thanks to some nifty running by McGriff and Castilla, who were on first and second with one out. Flaherty hit a grounder to second baseman Mickey Morandini, who charged the ball. Castilla stopped before Morandini could tag him which forced a throw to first. Castilla got into an extended rundown as McGriff scored.

Tampa starter Cory Lidle struck out a career-high seven in seven innings. All three runs he allowed unearned.

Bobby Abreu homered with two outs in the fifth inning after a throwing error by shortstop Felix Martinez allowed Doug Glanville to reach and Ron Gant singled.

"Cory made one bad pitch and Abreu hit it out," Rothschild said. "But he looked good, moved the ball well."
