ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Meadows and the Tampa Bay Rays keep finding ways to rally for wins.
Meadows singled in the 10th inning to score Brett Phillips from second base with the tiebreaking run, and the Rays beat the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Friday night.
After trailing 6-4, the Rays pulled even in the eighth. Meadows, an Atlanta native, had an RBI single during the two-run rally.
“That’s just kind of the Rays’ way,” Meadows said. “We never quit and we’re never down.”
Meadows drove in three runs with two hits.
“Meadows really picked us up in a big way,” manager Kevin Cash said.
