Baseball is a game where momentum stretches only as far as the next day’s pitcher, but a game like the one the Blue Jays won 1-0 in extra innings against the Rays on Wednesday has a chance to have a lasting effect.
“This was one of those games that can go a long way for you, but it also could have gone the opposite way,” Jays manager John Gibbons said. “I’m proud of the guys. This is a more character team than we’ve had in the past. In baseball, nobody quits but you do play a game every day.
