Rays beat Blue Jays 8-5, Andrés Giménez homers twice

Andres Gimenez with some left-on-left violence against Ian Seymour. His second homer of the game, a two-run shot, cuts #Bluejays deficit to 8-5. It's the first time in 17 games that #Rays pitching has allowed more than three earned runs.

And another home run for Giménez, his second of the game. This time, a 2-run dinger! #BlueJays

He did it again! Gimenez is keeping the #BlueJays alive tonight!

March 11, 2026 - Play a little What If? with us. Where would the peak Dave Stieb of Bobby Cox’s 1982-85 #BlueJays tenure slot into that iconic ‘90s Atlanta Braves rotation? We’re saying two-hole, after the brilliant Greg Maddux, a tick above Tom Glavine. John Smoltz’s your number-four.

8-5 loss, could've been worse. (Tbh I was expecting it to be.) But could've been a hell of a lot better too. #bluejays

Glad to see that Andres Gimenez hit as many HR tonight as Vladdy has hit all season. This team needs an exorcism. #BlueJays

Pitcher #3 coming up. You're going to need to get much better, #BlueJays.

Please Blue Jays please ...I'm asking from sec 540 right now...please come back and win

Argghhh.. The Rays, why is it always the Rays? Bluejays lose Jays 5 - 8 Rays #Bluejays

Bryan Baker still overreacting after striking out #BlueJays, eh. Ok buddy.

After a 5-8 loss today against the Rays, the #BlueJays are now 18-23. Their playoff odds have declined to 35.52% (-0.2549%). See more at mlbplayoffhope.com/#bluejays.

I expected the 1st one. I didn't expect that one. Gives us a chance at least. #Bluejays

#BlueJays have been outplayed tonight. Yet, they could still win this match. Smart ABs, gentlemen.

If swinging at the first pitch and popping out counted for points the Blue Jays would be undefeated currently #bluejays50

‪2026 Blue Jays W-L: 3-6‬ ‪On Legendary Home Runs Shirt night, Giménez hit two dingers for all the Toronto offence in another loss to TB. Gausman got his 2000th K, but was hit hard and often early, giving up seven runs and 10 hits in 4.2 IP. ‬Tampa Bay’s Simpson swiped two bases & scored thrice.
