The Toronto Blue Jays will open a best-of-three playoff series on Tuesday at Minnesota or Tampa Bay
The mood remained upbeat in the Toronto Blue Jays’ clubhouse on Saturday despite a missed opportunity to clinch a playoff spot.
"It's hectic, it's stressful and all that kind of stuff, but this is why you play," said Blue Jays manager John Schneider."This is why you play 162 . We're actually doing it. We're playing 162 for a reason. It's exciting, it's up and down, back and forth, all that kind of stuff.Tampa Bay's Taylor Walls hit a two-run single off Jordan Hicks in the 10th inning to silence the sellout crowd of 42,097 at Rogers Centre.
"I think they were really focused on trying to get contact and because of that they were able to get some hard contact at times," Ryu said via an interpreter."That probably happened because my command wasn't there."The Rays, meanwhile, are in tune-up mode after securing the first of three American League wild-card spots earlier in the week."The priority is us feeling good about ourselves," said Rays manager Kevin Cash.
Ryu wasn't sharp but managed to avoid giving up a big inning. Tampa Bay added another run in the third when Lowe doubled to bring home Ramirez. Hicks also pitched the ninth inning. George Springer hit a two-out double in the bottom half but was stranded when Cavan Biggio lined out.
