Devil Rays Lose Again, 7-4, to Blue Jays
|
Toronto Blue Jays starter Evan Thomas pitched well against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at SkyDome, leading his team to a win, 7-4. Thomas, now 7-7, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 9, walking 4, and allowing 4 runs. The losses continue to add up for Tampa Bay, having now dropped 8 straight.
The Blue Jays got a big at-bat from designated hitter Brent Gates. For the game, Gates went 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 6th double of the season gave Toronto a 1-0 lead.
"When you're losing, the game looks more difficult to play than it is," said Tampa Bay manager Dan H.
