Championship Series, Game #2 - Toronto 13, Tampa Bay 4
Toronto centerfielder George Springer had 2 homers and 5 rbis to lead a 17-hit attack as Toronto crushed Tampa Bay and evened the series. Toronto put up 6 runs in the 1st inning, (Tampa Bay starter Michael Wacha never retired a single batter) and added another 3 runs in the top of the 2nd to lead 9-2 after 1-1/2 innings. Toronto starter Robbie Ray had an easy day, with all the run support he needed, giving up just 2 runs on 4 hits in his 8 innings. With Wacha getting knocked out in the 1st, Tampa Bay ended up using 5 relievers. Tampa Bay did manage 3 homeruns – a 2-run shot by Mike Zunino in the 1st, and solo homers by Yandy Diaz and Brandon Lowe in the 9th off Toronto reliever Ross Stripling. For Toronto, Bo Bichette had 4 rbis and a homer, Santiago Espinal and Lourdes Gurriel each went 3-for-5, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 3-for-6. The series is now tied at 1 game apiece. As the Championship Series moves to Toronto for the next 3 games, the pitching matchup for Game #3 will be Ryan Yarbrough for Tampa Bay and Steven Matz for Toronto.

George Springer blasted 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Toronto Blue Jays
topped the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 13 to 4 at Tropicana Field.
Springer was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors. He clubbed a two-run home run in the
1st inning and lost the ball over the fence for three runs in the 9th inning.
Toronto out-hit Tampa Bay for the game, 17 hits to 6.
The win went to Robbie Ray(3-0) who allowed 2 runs in 8 innings. Michael
Wacha(0-2) suffered the loss. He was unable to retire a batter giving up 3
hits and 2 walks.
