Reid Brignac hit a three-run homer and Wade Davis earned his third straight win as the Tampa Bay Rays got the better of the Cleveland Indians 4-2 on Sunday.
Brignac has seen his name has pop up in numerous trade rumors recently as a player that other teams are asking for in exchange for a power hitter the Rays seek, but he has turned into quite the power hitter in his own right recently, collecting multiple hits in three of his last five starts with four homers and 10 RBIs in that span.
With Tampa Bay trailing 1-0 in the second, Brignac reached right-hander Justin Masterson (3-9) for a three-run shot - his sixth of the season - to put his team on top.
Davis (8-9) took over from there, allowing two runs and seven hits while striking out four and walking one in 6 1/3 innings. Davis has yielded a total of five runs over his last 21 1/3 innings to pick up three consecutive victories after going six straight starts without a win.
Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 26th save.
Rookie sensation Carlos Santana drove in a run for Cleveland, which has dropped three of four.
