Brandon Lowe would bring the Rays closer with a 3 run home run in the 3rd inning to make it 4-3. The Blue Jays would extend the lead in the 4th and 5th innings with solo homers to make it 6-3. Tristian Grey would hit a RBI single to make it 6-4 in the 8th. Brandon Lowe would hit a RBI single in the 9th to make it 6-5. But the Rays would not cash in with runners on base much more than that. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Wonderful PistachiosLooking for a snack that’s both delicious and nutritious?

The Tampa Bay Rays can't get past the Chicago Cubs, losing 6-4. It started great for the Rays. Christopher Morel hit a 3 run homer in the 1st inning to give the Rays a 3-0 lead. But the Cubs would jump on starter Shane Baz in a hurry. By the 3rd inning the Rays trailed 5-3 and Baz was only able to go 2.1 IP giving up 5 runs. The Rays were able to get it to 5-4 after a Nick Fortes RBI single. But that was as close as the Rays would get. The Cubs would add a run in the bottom of the 4th and that would be the last score of the game. Since winning 7 games in a row, the Rays have lost 6 of their last 8 game and will look to get back on track tomorrow afternoon. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Wonderful PistachiosLooking for a snack that’s both delicious and nutritious?
