ST. PETERSBURG — Tampa Bay broke an eighth-inning tie when Toronto third baseman Cavan Biggio let a grounder go between his legs, and the Rays went on to beat the Blue Jays 5-3 on Saturday night.
Jordan Romano (1-1), reinstated from the 10-day injured list before the game, walked Brandon Lowe and Mike Brosseau to start the eighth. Manuel Margot hit a grounder that got past Biggio for an error, allowing Lowe to put the Rays ahead 4-3.
“After that, my mentality changed and I just wanted to make hard contact,” Margot said through a translator.
“They had the infield kind of pinched in maybe to try and cover for the bunt,” Cash said.
