Rays Edge Blue Jays in Thriller | MLB News

The Tampa Bay Rays pulled off a dramatic 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, fueled by clutch hitting and bullpen dominance. Yandy Díaz crushed a two-run homer, Drew Rasmussen earned his sixth straight win (joining elite Rays history), and Bryan Baker locked down his 25th consecutive save — his 36th of the season, leading MLB. Tampa led 7-1 but Toronto rallied with four in the fifth and another in the sixth, making it a nail-biter — until the Rays’ bullpen shut down the Jays’ final 12 batters. Orelvis McAdoo stole his first career base and hit a career-high three singles; Alejandro Kirk added a homer and two RBIs for Toronto. Scherzer struggled in the fourth, giving up five runs, while Rays used small-ball magic — including a ground-rule double and a high fly that slipped past Jesús Sánchez — to score. Díaz, Simpson, and Walls all extended their hitting streaks to 10 games.
