Season series: Blue Jays lead 1-0.
The Rays were dealt their 1st loss of the season Friday, falling to the Jays 6-3 to end their bid for MLB's post-1900 record for consecutive wins to open a season. Tampa gave up 4 runs in the 5th inning and chipped away but couldn't overcome the deficit. RHP Yonny Chirinos gave the Rays 3 2/3 IP in relief, and they'll have a rested bullpen Saturday.
Blue Jays SS Bo Bichette had a night to remember, going 5-for-5 with an RBI. He's now hitting .391 and has hit safely in 11 of 13 games. Closer RHP Jordan Romano only needed 9 pitches to shut down the 9th inning Friday and should be ready again Saturday.
