The Blue Jays are aiming to bounce back after a three-game sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, capped with a 13-0 rout Sunday.
The Florida heat got the Blue Jays as the Rays grabbed an early lead before pulling away with a seven-run fifth inning.
Starting pitcher Chris Bassitt gave up five runs on nine hits with two walks in four-plus innings. Toronto’s bats were limited to four hits and were shut out for the third time this season. It was also the third-largest road shutout margin of defeat in franchise history, according to Sportsnet Stats.
