Showcases power in Game 3 Meadows went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox in Game 3 of the ALDS.
Impact Meadows came off the bench in each of the first two games of the series but batted third in his return to the lineup Sunday. He gave the Rays an early lead with his home run in the top of the first inning and hit a double in the top of the eighth, but the team was unable to secure the win in the 13-inning contest. Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez will likely start Game 4 for Boston on Monday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Meadows retreat to the bench.

Meadows has slugged five of his 27 homers since the beginning of September, and he's reached the century mark in RBI for the first time with 106, but his .233/.315/.457 slash line on the season has been somewhat disappointing.
