The story today was pitching. David Price threw 9 scoreless innings, striking out seven. Brandon Morrow also threw 9 scoreless innings, striking out 13 and allowing only two hits, but it wasn't enough.
The Jays bats were silent until the bottom of the 11th when Omar Vizquel and Rajai Davis started the inning with singles. Yunel Escobar lined out sharply to left field, robbed of extra bases by a diving Matt Joyce. Jose Bautista hit a dribbler up the 1st base line for the 2nd out but both runners advanced. Rays closer Kyle Farnsworth intentionally walked Edwin Encarnacion to load the bases. J.P. Arencibia stepped into the box with a chance to win the game with a single. Farnsworth pushed the count 2-2 and threw sharp breaking slider, causing Arencibia to swing and miss, ending the game.
The Jays will be back in action on May 16th at home against the Yankees when Kyle Drabek (2-2, 6.62) faces Michael Pineda (5-2, 3.99).
