Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Fall to Jays, 8-5

Toronto showed why it’s one of the hottest teams in the majors on Monday, as the Blue Jays defeated the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 8-5. The Rays fell for just the second time in eight meetings this season with Toronto, a team that continues to chug along in the month of June. All is not lost, however, Tampa Bay remained a game in front of New York in the AL East, thanks to the Yankees’ 11-8 loss to Philly.
