How sweep it is: Rays 2, Blue Jays 0

Is this hell?

No, this is Tropicana Field.

That might be what the Toronto Blue Jays think of The Trop.

Since 2021, the Jays have a .655 OPS and a 10-22 record under the tilted roof at One Tropicana Drive, and losers of 10 of the last 12.

Even the Blue Jays, biggest podcast, Gate 14, has paid their respects to try and reverse the jinx.

Let’s get to the action. The Rays’ six game win streak, and streak of 13 straight games of allowing three runs or less to opponents, has by and large been the byproduct of the Flappy Boys’ use of leather.

Taylor Walls made a stellar play from shortstop to end the first inning and keep Kazuma Okomoto’s first inning double from scoring.

Things remained quiet through the third inning, with Patrick Corbin getting two double plays and finishing three frames with more balls than strikes.

Shane McClanahan would go on to match and supplant his fellow southpaw’s goose eggs, going 5 2/3 innings of two hit, one walk, and four strikeout ball, all while earning the win.

Over his last three starts, ‘Sugar Shane’ is sporting a 16 2/3 scoreless inning streak.

Jonny DeLuca drove in Jonathan Aranda from first base with an RBI double in the fourth.

Chandler Simpson would pick up his eighth RBI of the season, driving in DeLuca with a two out single in the same frame. 2-0 .
