TORONTO — What started as an encouraging show of offense in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Blue Jays turned into a barrage in the nightcap as the Rays rolled to an 11-5 win and a sweep.
They rapped 14 hits overall, one more than in the opening 6-2 win, including three home runs — two from catcher Francisco Mejia, and a three-run shot by Isaac Paredes, who also went deep in the opener, and now has a team-high 13. Paredes was a triple short of the cycle in the night cap. Harold Ramirez also had three hits.
The 11 runs were the Rays’ most since also scoring 11 on June 8 against St. Louis and surpassed the total from their previous four losses.
