TORONTO 2 TAMPA BAY 1
The Toronto Blue Jays had their outfielders put in some extra time before the game to work on throwing. The results paid off in a big way.
Right-fielder Moises Sierra gunned down the potential tying run to end the game as Toronto won its second straight over the Tampa Bay Rays with a 2-1 victory on Friday night.
In the second inning, left-fielder Rajai Davis threw out a runner at home as well, as the Jays won three in a row for the first time since July 26-28.
"It was really awesome how the day shaped up," said catcher Jeff Mathis, who blocked the plate expertly both times.
"Because before the game they were out there working on their throws, every outfielder, and tonight we gun two guys down at the plate. Two good throws by both of those guys saved the game for us."
Sierra hit his third home run since being called up from triple-A Las Vegas last month.
Brandon Morrow pitched 6 2 innings to get /3 his first win since June 6.
