Rays Win, Meadows slugs 2 home runs
The Tampa Bay Rays bested the Oakland Athletics by a score of 8-5, with left fielder Austin Meadows getting the main credit. On the day, Meadows was 3-5 with 2 home runs and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Rays. The win belongs to Jose Alvarado in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Miguel Romero took the loss for Oakland. The save went to Oscar De La Cruz, number 13 for him.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Hector Leon came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Oakland pitcher Miguel Romero, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Tampa Bay on top, 7-5.

"We played hard and won," said Meadows. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

With the win, Tampa Bay goes to 32-25, while the Athletics fall to 28-30.
