Austin Meadows

The Rays struggled to get anything going against Gerrit Cole and the Yankees, as they were held hitless until Austin Meadows came to bat in the fifth inning. The right fielder smashed a 1-1 offering from the Yankees ace over the right-field wall to tie the game, 1-1. In a matchup where runs proved hard to come by, the vital blast gave the Rays enough to remain tied until Michael Brosseau’s eighth-inning homer.
