With their bats turned silent, the Tampa Bay Rays made two moves in recent days to get their struggling offense moving. The Toronto Blue Jays make a move of their own.

The teams will meet Wednesday afternoon in the finale of a two-game series at St. Petersburg, Fla., after the Blue Jays won the opener 3-1 on Tuesday. Toronto’s Kevin Gausman allowed only one hit in eight scoreless innings, walking one and striking out 10.

The Rays, who have lost eight of their last 10 games, tried to jump-start their slumping offense by making two trades ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. They added outfielders David Peralta (from the Arizona Diamondbacks) and Jose Siri (from the Houston Astros in a three-team deal), but there has been no early return on those deals.

Peralta went 0-for-3 against Toronto on Tuesday, leaving him 1-for-7 through two games with his new team. Siri was 0-for-3 on Tuesday in his Tampa Bay debut.
