TORONTO — The Rays just needed a little help to get back to their winning ways Sunday, and they got it from an unlikely source in an 8-1 win.
Alek Manoah, the hard-throwing and outspoken Blue Jays ace, got off to a bad start, and the Rays took advantage to score three times in the first inning, getting one run on a bases-loaded walk and two more on a two-out Josh Lowe single.
That put the Rays in pretty good hands as they had their own ace, Shane McClanahan, on the mound with the three-run margin to work with.
