"Today was a huge game and it started with Liriano," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "He did a heck of a job, battled a little at times with his command but found it to get some big outs."
Toronto's win snaps a three-game losing streak, and with a win Sunday, the Blue Jays can avoid setting a new record for the worst April in franchise history. Tampa Bay was quiet offensively, but it wasn't for a lack of opportunity, as the Rays went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left 10 runners on base.
