With the first game of this series in the books as a Rays win, the Rays looked to grab the series win in a late afternoon matchup against the Blue Jays.
Andrew Kittredge opened this game for the Rays, the first time he has done so this season. Ryan Borucki was the starting pitcher for the Blue Jays, a pitcher whose number the Rays have had throughout his career.
The Rays started this game with a first inning threat to score after Tommy Pham hit a one-out single, Austin Meadows walked and Travis d’Arnaud singled, but Avisail Garcia grounded into a double play to strand the bases loaded.
