The Toronto Blue Jays had one more stop before heading back to Toronto next week. They played another division rival, the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Blue Jays gave Devon Travis the night off and Steve Pearce found himself as the leadoff hitter for the game.
The pitching matchup featured groundball pitcher Marcus Storman and Blake Snell, who struggled against the Jays bats last season.
Snell would get some strikeouts to get things going in the top of the first. Stroman was in cruise control in the bottom half of the first as he struck out the side.
