Blue Jays snap losing streak with 20 runs in win over AL-leading Rays

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays dugout acquired fun when slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. struck out in opposition to a place participant. Given a second probability in opposition to Luke Raley, Guerrero hit his fourth profession grand slam.

Guerrero had six RBIs and the Blue Jays stopped a five-game shedding streak with a 20-1 rout of the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday evening, scoring their final 10 runs off place gamers.

Guerrero put Toronto forward with an RBI single off Taj Bradley (3-1) within the first, had a run-scoring single within the fifth that opened a 10-0 lead and hit a 423-foot grand slam in a nine-run ninth in opposition to Raley.

“We were all kind of laughing,” Blue Jays supervisor John Schneider stated of Guerrero’s strikeout on a 50 mph pitch. “It’s hard to do against a dude throwing 40, whatever. You kind of take it for what it’s worth. The fact that he was laughing, I loved it.”

“But, you don’t get Vladdy twice on a position player,” Schneider added. “He’s going to get you.”

Guerrero is hitting .300 with eight homers and 33 RBIs. His six RBIs had been one shy of his profession excessive.

All 12 Toronto batters within the recreation had hits, and the Blue Jays completed with 27 hits — their most since getting 29 in opposition to Boston in a 28-5 win final July 22.

Tampa Bay entered with the second-fewest runs allowed within the majors at 170 and gave up its most since a 20-8 loss at Boston on Aug. 11, 2021.

“In fairness, it got a little ugly.” Rays supervisor Kevin Cash stated.

George Springer had a career-high 4 hits, and Bo Bichette, Whit Merrifield, Danny Jansen and Guerrero had three apiece. Springer hit his seventh homer, a solo drive within the third.

“It’s good to see some positives on our side,” Springer stated. “It’s only a good day. Hopefully spiral into much more.”

Raley, an outfielder and first baseman, allowed seven runs and eight hits over 1 2/3 innings. He threw 27 pitches of 47-54 mph.

“It’s one thing I can actually say I by no means thought I’d do … at the very least have one strikeout within the books,” Raley stated.

Catcher Christian Bethancourt entered with two outs within the ninth and gave up Daulton Varsho’s RBI single and Jansen’s two-run homer.

Raley’s ERA is 30.38 after his second mound look this season. Bethancourt’s ERA is 81.00.

“It’s not my favorite place to be,” Raley stated. “I told them before, I got rocked in high school, so I can’t imagine what these guys would actually do to me if I tried to pitch. So just try to lob it over the plate and save our bullpen.”

Cash stated with a smile that Raley wants so as to add a changeup.

Zack Burdi gave up six runs within the fifth, 5 of them earned.

José Berríos (4-4) allowed one run, 5 hits and two walks, hanging out 5.

Isaac Paredes homered for the Rays, who dropped to 22-5 at residence this season. Tampa Bay leads the majors with 95 residence runs.

Bradley gave up 4 runs and 9 hits in 4 innings.

NUMBERS

Merrifield is 7 for 9 within the sequence and stole his 14th base.
