CLEVELAND (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays went to the home run ball in Tuesday night’s 6-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
Corey Dickerson hit two of Tampa Bay’s season-high five homers, including a 449-foot blast that landed in the trees beyond the center field wall in the fifth.
“It was one of my top ones, to be able to hit it clean like that and to know it’s gone,” he said. “The ones to dead center always feel good. I thought it was further than 450, though.”
Dickerson also hit a solo homer in the third off Danny Salazar (2-4).
