Rays 6, Jays 1: Odorizzi and LoMo lead the charge on Derby day

On Kentucky Derby Day, Ezequiel Carrera got things going for the Blue Jays in fitting fashion. With one out in the first, he lifted a 3-2 Jake Odorizzi offering just over the railing in right. But because the ball proceeded to bounce directly back onto the field of play and no umpire gave a definitive homerun call, it led to one of the fastest homerun trots you’ll ever see at 17 seconds. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure the ruling in the field wasn’t an inside the park homer.

Thankfully, that would would be all Jake would give up for a while.
