On the double: Twin killing in 9th huge for Rays

TORONTO -- With the game on the line in the bottom of the ninth, the Rays got a much needed strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play to help seal a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays on Monday night at Rogers Centre.

After Jose Bautista drew a leadoff walk from Brad Boxberger, the count went full against Edwin Encarnacion. That's when Bautista took off running, Boxberger struck out Encarnacion on a high fastball, and catcher Rene Rivera threw out Bautista at second.

Talk about a game changer.

"Unbelievable play," Rays manager Kevin Cash said.
