DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Jake Bauers slugged his second home run in as many days and Chase Whitley tossed four innings of two-hit ball in his first spring start to help lead the Rays to a 3-2 victory against the Blue Jays on Saturday at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
After Nick Franklin opened the fourth with a walk against Toronto starter Mat Latos, Bauers, rated the team's No. 4 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com, crushed a two-run shot to right field two batters later for the Rays' first hit of the game and his team-leading fourth home run of Grapefruit League play.
