MLB ROUNDUP: Rays FINALLY lose, falling to the Blue Jays, 6-3, after starting 13-0 to start season

The Tampa Bay Rays will not go 162-0 this season.

The top baseball team suffered its first loss of the season on Friday night after a tie between the 1982 Atlanta Braves and the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers by winning their first 13 games of the season.

Colin Poche forced in two runs with a basesloaded walk and second baseman Brandon Lowe made a key error in a 4-run fifth inning that carried the Toronto Blue Jays to a 6-3 victory on Friday-evening.

George Springer hit an opening home run and Bo Bichette had five hits and an RBI as the Blue Jays rejected Tampa Bay’s bid to set the post-1900 Major League Baseball record for consecutive wins at the start of a season.

Baseball’s all-time record for most consecutive wins to start a season belongs to the 1884 St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association, who won their first 10 games of that season.

Tampa Bay trailed only six times at the end of an inning on Friday. Against the Blue Jays, they trailed after all nine.

Luke Raley cut the lead in half with an RBI-single in the fourth, but Poche loaded the bases in the fifth and walked pinch-hitter Alejando Kirk on four pitches and Santiago Espinal on five. Danny Jansen grounded to Wander Franco for a possible inning-ending double play, but Lowe bounced the ball off his glove into the outfield as two runs were scored.

Rasmussen gave up five runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings. José Berríos (1-2) gave up one run and four hits in five at bats and left because of a bruised left knee that was hit twice in his last inning. Manuel Margot’s opening line shot off Berríos’ left foot and landed in foul territory. Three batters later, a comebacker from Yandy Díaz hit Berríos’ knee.

Trevor Richards retired the side in the sixth and Zach Pop struckout Isaac Paredes, leaving runners on first and second base.

After Yimi García gave up back-to-back homers to Josh Lowe and Christian Bethancourt in the seventh, Erik Swanson worked a scoreless eighth and Jordan Romano finished for his fifth save in six chances.

Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier faced his former team for the first time, going 2 for 4. The three-time Gold Glove award winner spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Rays.

PHILLIES 8, REDS 3

Taijuan Walker (1-1) gave up one run and four hits in six innings, as the NL-champion scored five runs in the first three innings to end a three-game losing streak.

Edmundo Sosa hit his second homerun of the season and Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos doubled in runs.

Connor Overton (0-1) gave up five runs, five hits and three walks in three innings as his ERA rose to 11.45. Cincinnati has lost seven of nine.

MARLINS 5, DIAMOND DRUGS 1

Trevor Rogers (1-2) gave up one run in six-plus innings and Madison Bumgarner (0-2) took another hard hit. Bumgarner gave up five runs and nine hits in five innings as his ERA rose to 7.90 and batters hit .321 against him.

Garrett Cooper and Bryan De La Cruz each had three hits for the Marlins, who won their third straight.

The game lasted 2 hours and 11 minutes and attracted only 10,961 spectators. Arizona had only six hits and the Marlins improved to 2-0 in their teal uniforms.

GEMINI 4, YANKEES 3

Carlos Correa homered for the second game in a row and hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the eighth inning off Clay Holmes (0-1)

Anthony Volpe led off the game with his first big league homer and Aaron Judge hit his fifth of the season on the next pitch. Giancarlo Stanton homered for a 3-1 lead in the sixth, but the Yankees lost for only the third time when Judge and Stanton homered together.

Emilio Pagán (1-0) threw a perfect seventh and Jhoan Duran got his fourth save.
