ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Joe Biagini and four relievers combined on a three-hitter, Darwin Barney hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Sunday.
The Blue Jays took two of three from the Rays to win a road series for the first time this season (1-4-1). It’s also just the fifth time in 31 tries since 2007 that Toronto has won a series at Tropicana Field (5-23-3).
Biagini allowed an unearned run, two hits and struck out four over four innings in his first major league start.
