Game Summary
The Toronto Blue Jays clashed against the Tampa Bay Rays in what turned out to be a thrilling display of power and a relentless offensive attack, ultimately decimating the Rays with a resounding victory of 13-4 at home soil!
Offensive Powerhouse
At the heart of this win was none other than our beloved catcher, Alejandro Kirk! What a beastly performance with the bat, hitting not one, but two homers in this one. In the first inning, his powerful swing sent the ball 387 feet, driving in Davis Schneider, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Daulton Varsho
- taking the score from a tight 1-1 tie to a comfortable 5-1 lead right away. And then, he didn’t stop there! By the fifth inning, he cranked another one for 419 feet, bringing in Anthony Santander to extend the lead further to 8-4! Talk about making your presence felt, Kirk!

Our batting prowess didn’t stop with Kirk. Towards the bottom of the 7th, Addison Barger got his moment of glory with a sweet 420-foot homer, with Daulton Varsho already on base, extending the lead to 10-4
. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, Myles Straw tripled, sending Ernie Clement to the plate. Then, our energizer bunny, George Springer, grounded a 391-foot homer following Straw’s effort, which surged our lead to a whopping 13-4. Springer not only scored but brought Myles Straw home too, giving the fans exactly what they came for - pure excitement! 
Pitching Dominance
On the pitching side of things, despite a rocky start by our beloved pitchers, they calmed the storm quickly. Fluharty, Varland, Little and Fisher tagged teamed to ensure scores from the Rays were well controlled, with each adding a touch of command and focus to the mound. Let's not forget Lauer, who concluded the game majestically, topping it off with impressive relief to close the game at night. Way to cement the victory!
