Rays 4, Blue Jays 3: Walkoff Willy

Willy Adames may need to change his name to Willy Walkoff. For the second time in his (very young) Rays career, the Santiago native sent the Rays to victory with one swing of the bat. Unlike last time when Walkoff Willy (which way sounds better?) left the yard for his game-winner, this one stayed in the yard, but it was still more than enough to bring the Rays to a season-high 15 games over .500. At 34-19, they are now only one game off their best-ever start to a season (2010), and they kept pace in what is becoming an increasingly fun AL East race already.
