TORONTO -- Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Blake Snell boosted his Cy Young Award chances with another brilliant outing against the Blue Jays.
Snell won his ninth straight start in Tampa Bay's 5-2 victory over Toronto 5-2 on Sunday and boosted his record to 21-5.
"I think I'll be telling my grandkids that I played behind him," Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier said.
Tampa Bay began the day 7½ games behind Oakland for the AL's second wild card and would be eliminated with one more loss or win by the Athletics, who hosted Minnesota later in the day.
