Rays 3, Blue Jays 4: Ninth inning rally was too little, too late

After two very contrasting games to start the series, the Rays looked to take the rubber match from the Blue Jays for a fourth-straight series win.

Brendan McKay took the mound for the Rays for his sixth start in the Majors, facing off against Toronto’s opener Wilmer Font.

McKay was as perfect as possible in the first inning, striking out Bo Bichette, Freddy Galvis and Lourdes Gurriel Jr in order.

After a leadoff walk in the second inning, McKay struck out two more, sitting down Brandon Drury looking and Derek Fisher swinging to end the inning.
