CLEVELAND — With Austin Meadows leading the way from the start, the Rays beat the Indians 6-3 Sunday to take three of four in the weekend series.
That sent them home for a Monday holiday matinee against the Blue Jays and got them to the traditional Memorial Day checkpoint a season-best 12 games over .500 at 31-19 and on a pace for 100 wins.
Meadows had a quite a day, on base five times in going 4-for-4 and being hit by a pitch, scoring two runs and knocking in three.
He launched a long homer to center on Trevor Bauers’ fifth pitch of the game, a blast estimated at 431 feet, second longest of his nascent career.
