CLEVELAND (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay’s Steven Matz (4-1) allowed two runs and four hits in a season-high seven innings.<\/p>\n

David Fry got aboard with a walk when when his third strike on a full count was overturned by the Automated Ball-Strike system<\/a>. Schneemann drove an elevated first-pitch slider into the left-center bleachers for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Messick struck out six his first time through the order. The left-hander allowed only two hits through five innings, but Yandy D\u00edaz led off the sixth with a walk, advanced on Aranda’s grounder and scored on Vilade’s hit.<\/p>\n
