Rays Grind Out 2-1 Win
In a low-scoring affair between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays, pitcher JJ Goss was the difference between victory and defeat. The Tampa Bay right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 2-1 Rays win. The winner in relief was Jacob Lopez. He is now 4-1. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. At 73-87, the Rays are currently 4th in the American League East Division.

Corey Seager, who finished 4th in the AL in batting average with .320 in 2023, helped out the Tampa Bay cause in the bottom of the sixth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the shortstop was 1 for 4 with a double.

"Every loss hurts," said Toronto manager Sam Saunders. "But this was a tough one."
