TORONTO —The Rays had been on a weeks-long streak of playing, and more often losing, games decided by one or two runs.
Thursday night that streak, four shy of the major league record, came to an end. They lost by three.
The 4-1 defeat to the Blue Jays was similar to many of the nine losses during the 14-game streak. The Rays pitched relatively well and didn’t do much with the bats.
