CLEVELAND (AP) --- Ryan Vilade had three hits and drove in two runs, including
the go-ahead single in the eighth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays won their
fifth straight by defeating the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 Monday night.
Daniel Schneemann had a two-run homer in the fifth inning and rookie Parker
Messick struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings as the Guardians dropped their third
in a row and fourth in five games.
Jonathan Aranda led off the eighth with a home run down the right-field line
off Hunter Gaddis (0-1) and Junior Caminero singled. Pinch-runner Richie
Palacios stole second and scored on Vilade's hit up the middle.
Vilade also had an RBI single in the sixth inning and is 11 for 20 in his last
10 games after starting the year hitless in his first six at-bats.
Tampa Bay's Steven Matz (4-1) allowed two runs and four hits in a season-high
seven innings.
David Fry got aboard with a walk when when his third strike on a full count was
overturned by the Automated Ball-Strike system. Schneemann drove an elevated
first-pitch slider into the left-center bleachers for a 2-0 lead.
The Guardians had runners on second and third with one out after pinch-hitter
Kyle Manzardo's single and Chase DeLauter's double, but Bryan Baker struck out
pinch-hitter George Valera and Schneemann for his seventh save.
Messick struck out six his first time through the order. The left-hander
allowed only two hits through five innings, but Yandy Daz led off the sixth
with a walk, advanced on Aranda's grounder and scored on Vilade's hit.
