Tampa Bay Rays hit 3 home runs to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 in a matchup of AL powerhouses

Chicago White Sox starter Lance Lynn pitched well, but the Tampa Bay Rays showcased their power to take Round 1 of the series between the top two teams in the American League.

The Rays entered with the best record in baseball, a half-game ahead of the Sox. It marked the first Sox game since July 18-20, 2006, in Detroit that the teams were first and second in the majors in winning percentage, according to STATS.

Meadows hit a two-run homer to right with two outs in the first. Lowe hit a solo homer to right in the third, giving the Rays a 3-0 lead.
