TORONTO — The Rays are going so bad now that not even Drew Rasmussen’s months-long hot streak, nor his new dad strength, could help them.
Rasmussen had his worst start since June, and the offense was missing again as the Rays lost for the fifth time in their past six games.
Making it worse, Wednesday’s 5-1 loss, like their previous two, was to the Blue Jays, one of the teams the Rays are competing with for seeding in the three-team American League wild-card race. They play again Thursday afternoon to wrap up a five-games-in-four-days series.
