Austin Meadows homered for the third straight game and five Tampa Bay Rays pitchers combined to throw a six-hitter and beat the struggling Toronto Blue Jays 3-1.
The second-place Rays won for the fourth straight time, improving to a MLB season-best 13 games over .500 before an announced crowd of just 5,786, the smallest ever for a Rays home game at Tropicana Field.
The Blue Jays have dropped six of their past seven games and fell to 0-8-1 in their series against Tampa Bay, dating to August 2017.
Meadows hit his 12th homer of the season, a solo shot to right field off reliever Thomas Pannone in the seventh inning.
Former Tiger Avisail Garcia had an inside-the-park homer off Clayton Richard (0-1) in the third and also scored on a first-inning sacrifice fly.
