 The Rays have won seven of the nine meetings with the Blue Jays in 2019, and five straight matchups in St. Petersburg. A 10-9 victory at Toronto on July 28 started Tampa Bay's current six-game win streak, during which it's averaging 8.0 runs while smashing 16 homers. The Rays had hit just six home runs and averaged 3.4 runs in their previous nine games.

 The Blue Jays have also been pummeling the ball lately, hitting an MLB-leading 25 homers since July 27. The 25 homers are the most ever by the Blue Jays franchise over a nine-game span in a single season.

 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had another three hits Sunday, and has a .486/.513/.946 slash line with four homers, five doubles and 18 RBI in his last eight games. He is the first Blue Jay ever to amass 18 hits and 18 RBI over an eight-game span, which is something his Hall of Fame father never accomplished.

 Bo Bichette registered already his fifth multi-hit game Sunday, and has hit safely in all seven games he has played since making his MLB debut last Monday. He is batting .400 with five doubles, and his 13 hits are the most ever by a Blue Jay in his first seven career games.

 The left-handed-hitting Austin Meadows has homered in three straight games and is expected to be back in the lineup in the opener with a righty on the mound. He has hit safely in seven straight games, and has a .432/.523/.838 slash line with four home runs, nine RBI and eight runs in nine games against the Jays this season. No Ray has homered in four straight games since Evan Longoria in June 2016.

 Charlie Morton, whose 2.78 ERA trails only Justin Verlander's 2.68 in the AL, allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings at Boston last Tuesday. It was the sixth time this season he permitted at least four runs, and he's followed the first five of those outings with a 1.39 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 44 strikeouts over 32.1 IP.

HP - Nelson, 1B - Mahrley, 2B - Blaser, 3B - Randazzo

It seems as though no lead is safe when the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays play lately.
The teams get another chance to prove that point Wednesday afternoon when the visiting Blue Jays take on the Rays in the rubber match of a three-game series.

No lead safe when Blue Jays, Rays tussle

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)  Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash was blunt after the Rays closed out a homestand against Miami and Toronto with a 3-2 record.
''Not good enough,'' Cash said after a 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday. ''You've got to do better than that. Where we're at, we've got to find ways to win.''
