A 10th-inning triple from Kevin Kiermaier completed the RaysBaseball's comeback over the BlueJays.
Tampa Bay’s defensive whiz delivered the second walkoff hit of his career after the Rays scored twice in the ninth to force extra innings, then fell behind again 5-4 when Blue Jays pinch-runner Santiago Espinal stole third base and scored on Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s sacrifice fly off Chaz Roe .
Instead, the team will play a majority of its home dates in Buffalo, New York, in a minor league stadium undergoing improvements.“When you lose games like that, it’s tough. But I was right there on the top of the stairs making sure they knew we played three good games. Keep your head up,” Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said. “We competed with one of the best teams in baseball. That was my message.
The reliever yielded a two-out double to pinch hitter Joey Wendle before walking Willy Adames and Yoshi Tsutsugo to load the bases. Ji-Man Choi worked him to a 3-1 count before Giles left the game because of elbow soreness. “The first at-bat we were playing defence for a while, so I wasn’t really warmed up as a righty,” Choi said through an interpreter. “The second one, I swung and the ball just travelled.”
