Rays open up three-game lead in AL East by beating struggling Jays
After hitting 139 homers last season, the Tampa Bay Rays could blow past that total before this year’s All-Star break.
“The team that we have, we have a team that can run, that can field, that can hit,” Siri said through a translator. “It doesn’t matter what pitcher is up there, we feel confident in our ability to hit.” Whit Merrifield and Daulton Varsho homered for the Blue Jays , who have lost seven of eight and dropped 9 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay.
Arozarena had a leadoff double in the second and scored with two outs when first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was charged with an error after mishandling second baseman Merrifield’s throw from behind the base on Christian Bethancourt’s grounder. Siri followed with a homer to centre.Bassitt’s scoreless stretch was the second-longest season streak in franchise history, trailing Roger Clemens’ 33 innings in 1998. Dave Steib had a 34-inning run in 1988-89.
