- Summary -
The Jays continue their hot streak, winning game 1 vs. the Rays. Alvarez made his debut for the Jays going 3.2 innings (pitch count). The Rays started off in the 2nd inning with a RBI double by Damon, and then in the 3rd, Hector Lee and Catcher Chirinos both had RBI singles to make it 3-0 Rays. That same inning however, Escobar hit a solo HR to cut it to 3-1. Next inning Bautista singled home a run, and Morales doubled home a run to tie it 3-3. In the 6th, Morales hit a sac fly and Santana hit a RBI double to make it 5-3 Jays. Longoria would homer (solo shot) off Marshall in the 8th, but couldnt solve Feliz as he picked up his 14th save. However, after the game announced elbow soreness and will be DTD. If a save opportunity arises he will pitch, but look for Fernando Salas to get a save chance sometime if one arises in the next week.
