Rays Crush Blue Jays 12-2 | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Rays crushed the Blue Jays 12-2 in a dominant display of offense and pitching, with Chandler Simpson and Ben Williamson each smashing four hits, Nick Fortes launching a homer, and Yandy Díaz hitting a three-run shot in his 1,000th game. Drew Rasmussen anchored the pitching staff, going deep into the game with just two runs allowed on seven hits and five strikeouts. The game’s tone was set in the first inning, where the Rays scored three runs with two outs — including a 38-pitch inning capped by Simpson’s RBI single — while the Blue Jays failed to score with the bases loaded. Rasmussen’s clutch performance, including a key 1-2-3 inning with the bases loaded, sealed the victory as the Rays’ offense kept rolling and their bullpen shut down the Jays.
