Toronto Blue Jays, Thursday afternoon for the first time in 3 1/2 weeks.
Blue Jays, who was 12-11 on April 21, made a square series against RAYS with a 3-1 win on Wednesday night. Toronto 21-21 for the season.
The difference in the game on Wednesday was a homer by Alejandro Kirk and three conditions with two exits against Ryan Pepiot against Ryan Pepiot.
In the meantime, the rays are trying to reach the .500 and use it as a starting point for better things. However, the loss dropped them to 19-23.
“It sounds like we have chased ourselves to reach500,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said before the opening match of the series on Tuesday. He said. “Absolutely myself or someone else in that room, he thinks we should not settle as a .500, but our first step is to reach there.”
Blue Jays is scheduled to start her right hand to Kevin Gausman (3-3, 3.97 ERA) on Thursday. In 23 career matches (21 starters), 3.76 ERA against RAYS is 8-8.
Tampa Bay’s right-handed Zack Littlel (2-5, 4.40) is expected to resist. In four career matches against Blue Jays, 3,38 ERA and 1-0. At the beginning of their two beginnings, 11 2/3 did not allow a run in Inning.
Both teams will try to win their second series in a row.
After Rays’ wild victory on Tuesday, the teams played tightly on Wednesday.
Pepiot was disappointed with his expensive sixth shot on Wednesday. After 0-2 ahead of the count, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Daulton Varsho sang with two exits and Kirk reached 0-2 Fastball for his home run. The field was in the middle of the plate, rose slightly, but did not rise as much as Pepiot wanted.
“He didn’t rise enough, Cash Cash said. “The number of 0-2 was too much from what he wanted to do, and probably seemed to have been caught much more.
Pepiot said: “Take Kirk 0-2, threw the ball in the middle and will. An error, this is the name of the game.”
Kirk said that Blue Jays, who won five of their last six matches, thought that the American League had a better atmosphere than last year when the American League was last in the East this season.
“He has nothing to do with talent … But in the way we play,” Kirk said. “And our chemistry is not only in the club building, but in the shelter during the game. We are together with the situation or the score.”
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that the team was a “really strictly connected group” that can hang together, regardless of how the game is going, and allows Toronto to gather at key points.
“When you do this, you feel more sure that you can do it,” he said. “A feeling of these men.”
