Austin Meadows every opportunity to develop into the major contributor they envision him becoming.Performances like Tuesday’s are the payoff.Meadows homered and set a career high with four hits http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , Avisaíl Garcia connected against his former team and the Rays beat the Chicago White Sox 10-5.The Rays pounded Ervin Santana (0-1) and improved to 9-3, their best start in nine years. They also extended a club record by clinching their fourth straight series victory to start a season.Meadows drove in a personal-best four runs and helped break open a game that lasted 3 hours, 56 minutes. He singled and scored in the first, hit a two-run drive in the second and added an RBI single during a two-run fourth in which Tampa Bay chased Santana. He also walked with the bases loaded in the ninth.“He’s got the ability to do everything well,” manager Kevin Cash said. “He can run, he can run on the bases, cover ground in the outfield. He works so hard on his defense to continue to gain ground, and hit. Whether it’s a quality at-bat or hit for power, we’ve seen both of it. He’s got a chance to be a pretty special player with this opportunity that he’s earned to get going here in the lineup and be a big part of our group. He’s bringing a lot to the table right now.”The Rays acquired Meadows from Pittsburgh last July as part of a trade that sent Chris Archer to the Pirates for a wealth of young talent. The Rays also got hard-throwing right-hander Tyler Glasnow and highly touted pitching prospect Shane Baz.Meadows debuted last season and played in 59 games for the Pirates and Tampa Bay. He said he got a confidence boost in the offseason when Cash told him in a phone call to show up ready to contribute.“I feel like I belong here,” Meadows said.Garcia smacked a solo homer in the second and finished with three hits Brett Cecil Jersey , giving him five in the past two games. The White Sox opted not to offer him a contract in the offseason, parting ways after 5½ years, and he signed with Tampa Bay.Brandon Lowe chipped in with a sacrifice fly in the first and a solo homer in the third. Charlie Morton (2-0) went five innings, allowing two runs and three hits.Yoan Moncada knocked a two-run homer in the third for Chicago. Tim Anderson had two hits, including an RBI single in a three-run eighth. But with the White Sox trailing by three, pinch-hitter Adam Engel struck out swinging at a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded to end that rally.SANTANA STRUGGLESSantana got tagged for seven runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings after the White Sox purchased his contract from Triple-A Charlotte. The two-time All-Star missed most of last season with Minnesota because of an injured right middle finger. He signed a minor league contract in February.“I felt great. In the bullpen, when I was warming up, everything was really good,” Santana said. “Then when I got to the mound, I guess I changed my delivery so that was the issue.”STREAK CONTINUESTampa Bay’s Tommy Pham extended his club-record on-base streak to 44 games with a single and two walks.TRAINER’S ROOMRays: 2B Joey Wendle (strained left hamstring) ran on a treadmill for the second straight day http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , Cash said. Cash also said 3B Matt Duffy (back/left hamstring) has been ramping up his rehab.White Sox: Manager Rick Renteria had no timetable on when OF Jon Jay will return and said it’s a “safe bet” Jay will go on a rehab assignment before he is activated. Jay has been sidelined since last month because of a strained right hip that has caused pain in the groin area.UP NEXTRays: Glasnow (2-0, 0.82 ERA) looks to continue his dominant start. He tossed three-hit ball over six scoreless innings at San Francisco last week after holding Houston to one run over five innings.White Sox: RHP Reynaldo López (0-1, 10.00) tries to get on track after two shaky outings. He has allowed a combined 10 runs on 12 hits over nine innings against Kansas City and Seattle. While Los Angeles Dodgers starYasiel Puig is coming off an incredible performance that earned him National League Player of the Week honors, he has once again suffered some misfortune away from the diamond.According to TMZ Sports, Puig's house in theSan Fernando Valley was burglarized for the fourth time on Tuesday night.The burglars allegedly broke in through the back door of the house.Security cameras show three men leaving the property, and although the system sent an alert, police were unable to arrive until after the suspects were gone.No word on what, if anything, was stolen.As TMZ noted, Puig's home had previously been targeted on three occasions. The Dodgers outfielder had$500 Michael Wacha Jersey ,000 in jewelrystolen from his house in March 2017 and$150 in costume jewelryswiped during Game 7 of the World Series last October, while there was also anattemptedrobberyin August.After the second burglary, Puig made it clear to TMZ Sports that he wasn't sweating things.(Warning: NSFW language.)"I ain't worried about that s--t," Puig told TMZ Sports in November 2017. "I have a f--king lot of money."Puig is hitting .273 with 21 home runs, 20 doubles and 58 RBI in 115 games this season. He was namedNL Player of the Weekon Monday for the third time in his career after hitting .429/.500/1.190 with five homers, nine RBI, seven runs, one double and one stolen base over a seven-game stretch.With 10 games to play, Los Angeles holds a 1.5-game lead over the Colorado Rockies in the NL West.
