TORONTO — Drew Rasmussen combined with four relievers on a three-hitter, Brandon Lowe and Ji-Man Choi homered and the Tampa Bay Rays became the first AL team to reach 90 wins by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 Tuesday night.
After losing four of their previous five, the East-leading Rays hit the 90-win mark for the eighth time — all in the past 14 seasons.
Pitching well and playing good defense to defeat a postseason contender put the Rays in an October frame of mind.
“Mike Zunino came in after the game and said, ‘That’s what a playoff game feels like,’ " Rasmussen said.
