The Tampa Bay Rays cruised to a win over the Toronto Blue Jays, 12-3, at Tropicana Field.

The left-hander was charged with 1 run. He scattered 3 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 8. His record improves to 2-0. The victory makes Tampa Bay 6-4, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 2029.

In the bottom of the second, Tampa Bay first baseman Ketel Marte had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Marte stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 5-0, Tampa Bay. For the game, he went 2 for 5 with 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

Toronto manager Sam Saunders said: "We got ambushed. We just sashayed into the canyon and they were firing from both sides."
