Blue Jays’ sloppy defence aids Tampa with 8-4 win Globe_Sports
Tampa tied it 1-1 after Lourdes Gurriel Jr. bounced a throw to first on the would-be final out of the third. Stroman walked the next batter and Brandon Lowe followed with an RBI single. Stroman threw 15 extra pitches before he could escape the inning – bringing his total to 69 through three – and Gurriel was replaced in the field by Alen Hanson to start the fourth.The Rays attacked again an inning later with two runs following a throwing error by Stroman on a Kiermaier grounder.
Galvis cut into the deficit in the seventh, launching a Ryne Stanek pitch over the centre-field wall. Galvis also drove in the game’s opening run in the first. He brought leadoff hitter Billy McKinney home from second with a single off Morton. Randal Grichuk made a highlight-reel play in centre in the second. With a runner on second and two out, Grichuk robbed Willy Adames of an RBI and extra bases, sprinting to track down the hard-hit liner and leaping for the catch at the wall. Stroman threw his hands in the air when the play was made and emphatically high-fived his centre-fielder as they both jogged into the dugout.
