Alek Manoah was superb for seven scoreless innings, striking out seven, as the Toronto Blue Jays fended off the Tampa Bays Rays 5-2 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
Alek Manoah - The Canadian PressTORONTO —
Daniel Vogelbach was 3-for-4 at the plate, including a solo home run, as Toronto snapped a three-game losing skid. Alejandro Kirk had a two-run double and George Springer added an RBI double. Vogelbach opened the scoring in the second inning, smashing his first home run of the season 394 feet over the centre-field wall. Vogelbach's homer had a 106.4 m.p.h. exit velocity off a 92 m.p.h. sinker that was dead centre in his strike zone.
Kirk made up for that squandered opportunity in the sixth inning when his double landed just before the warning track in left field. That scored Vogelbach and Springer for a 5-0 Blue Jays lead.
