If you were a Toronto Blue Jays fan last night, you were probably turning off the TV early. The Tampa Bay Rays absolutely steamrolled the Blue Jays 12-2 in a game that wasn't even close. The Rays scored runs in bunches and never looked back from the opening innings.
The star of the night was catcher Nick Fortes, who went 3-for-5 with a home run, 4 RBI, and 2 runs scored — the kind of line you put on a highlight reel. The Rays' offense was firing on all cylinders, and Toronto's pitching staff had no answer for the barrage. The 10-run margin of victory is the kind of blowout that gives a team a huge confidence boost heading into the rest of the season.
With the win, the Rays improve to 58-42 on the year and maintain their lead atop the AL East. The Blue Jays, now 46-55, continue to struggle and sit well out of the playoff picture. Tampa Bay is looking like one of the most dangerous teams in the American League right now!
It was a HUGE night of baseball with 13 games on the schedule! There were blowouts, a walk-off, an extra-innings thriller, and a dominant pitching performance. Here's a quick look at everything that went down:
Fernando Tatis Jr. reminded everyone why he's one of the most exciting players in the game, going 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, and 3 RBI as the Padres hammered the Braves 8-3. In Texas, Brandon Nimmo went a perfect 4-for-4 with a homer in a 10-0 Rangers demolition of the White Sox. The Cubs also got in on the fun, crushing the Tigers 11-2 behind a gem from David Peterson (6.2 innings, zero earned runs). And in a wild one at Coors Field, the Rockies edged the Nationals 8-7 — with CJ Abrams going deep TWICE for the Nats in a losing effort. The D-backs beat the Athletics 6-5 in 10 innings — the only extra-innings game of the night!
