The Flappy Boi’s are no longer streaking.
For the first time this season, The Tampa Bay Rays have lost a regular-season baseball game.
Another first in the short 2023 campaign, the Rays never led in a single inning of a game.
Leading off for Toronto, George Springer drilled a 1-0, 96-MPH offering from Drew Rasmussen for the 53rd homer of that variety to put the Jays up 1-0 in the bottom half of the first.
In the bottom of the second, St. Petersburg’s own Bo Bichette delivered on a ground-rule double down the right field line to plate Kevin Kiermaier and give Toronto a 2-0 lead.
