Powered by three more homers, for an MLB-best 58 the season, the Tampa Bay Rays completed a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. The Rays, at 19-19, moved back to .500 after winning the first three games of an eight-game road trip.

Blame it on laziness ― or call it a case of an intrepid blogger who is incredibly tired ― but I won’t be recapping Wednesday night’s contest. What follows are a handful of links of others who, instead, carried the torch for me this time around. I know, I know…that came off as incredibly grandiose. I digress.

All told, the Rays scored 31 runs (10.3 runs per game) over the set, held the Jays to 2.3 runs per game, and went 12-31 wRISP (.387).
The New What Next
After a travel day on Thursday, the Rays will begin a stretch of 20 straight games without a off-day, when they start a three-game set against the Tigers in Detroit on Friday. We’ll have the Tampa Bay/Detroit series preview ready to consume by Friday.
