TORONTO -- The Tampa Bay Rays were not about to let their lead against the Toronto Blue Jays slip away again Friday night.
After blowing an 8-2 ninth-inning lead Thursday night as the Blue Jays scored seven runs in the bottom of the ninth to win 9-8, the Rays kept adding to their advantage Friday.
As a result, they gained a split in the first two games of the four-game series at the Rogers Centre with an 11-3 victory with Austin Pruitt pitching the final three innings to earn the save.
