Game Preview

After Manuel Margot’s two-out, walk-off single capped a Thursday matinee thriller against the Los Angeles Angels, the pervasive feeling around the Tampa Bay Rays’ clubhouse highlighted the importance of winning with eight games left in the regular season.

On Friday night, Tampa Bay will look to ride the momentum of that dramatic 5-4 win when it begins a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Currently sitting 1 1/2 games behind the first-place Baltimore Orioles (95-58) in the American League East, the Rays (94-60) waited until the very end against Los Angeles on Thursday, taking the rubber match of a three-game set after entering the series on a two-game skid.
