Toronto Sends Tampa Bay Packing with 2-0 Loss
Dave Stieb, who leads the AL in quality starts with 4, played a key role in a gritty 2-0 Toronto Blue Jays win against the Tampa Bay Rays. In 6.1 innings, Stieb surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 3. He allowed no runs. Earning his 11th save for Toronto was Duane Ward.

The outcome was still in doubt in the top of the ninth inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Tampa Bay trailing 2-0, Duane Ward needed to get a big out. On a first pitch fastball, Kevin Kiermaier, who is tied for 5th in the AL in RBI with 17, lined out, putting the kibosh on a potential rally.

The win puts Toronto at 14-9.
