TORONTO (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays became the latest playoff contender to lose to Toronto rookie left-hander Thomas Pannone.Pannone pitched 6 2-3 innings to win his third straight start Rob Refsnyder Jersey , Rowdy Tellez homered and drove in three and the Blue Jays beat the Rays 5-2 Saturday, dealing another blow to Tampa Bay’s faint playoff hopes.In his previous two starts, Pannone got the best of playoff-bound Cleveland and the New York Yankees.“It definitely gives me the confidence that I know my stuff can play here,” Pannone said. “I’m facing good lineups, good hitters and I’m turning them over pretty well. I just want to continue to do that.”Tellez singled in the second, hit a two-run homer in the fourth, and added an insurance run with an RBI double in the eighth.“We’ve got to somehow figure out how to get Tellez out,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “He’s kind of beat us up this series.”Making his fifth major league start, Pannone (4-1) allowed two runs and six hits. He walked three, struck out five, and left to a standing ovation.“He had good stuff, was locating well,” Rays infielder Joey Wendle said of Pannone. “He kind of silenced us for a while.”After Pham opened the scoring in the third with his 20th home run http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-miller-jersey , Pannone walked the bases loaded but escaped further damage by striking out Willy Adames.“He’s kind of funky,” Adames said. “You don’t get a good read off the ball.”The Blue Jays responded with a three-run fourth against Tyler Glasnow (2-7). Justin Smoak drew a leadoff walk and Tellez hit a one-out homer, his third. One out later, Kevin Pillar singled and scored on Reese McGuire’s double.Tommy Pham and Jesus Sucre hit solo home runs for the Rays, who slipped 7 ½ games behind Oakland, a 3-2 winner over the Twins, in the race for the second AL wild card. Tampa Bay has eight games remaining.“We’ve been playing our tails off to get into contention,” Wendle said. “We’re going to continue to do that and see what happens.”Toronto has won two of the first three of the four-game set, rallying with a seven-run ninth inning in Thursday’s 9-8 win. The Blue Jays are 5-10 against the Rays this season.Pannone gave up a two-out homer to Sucre in the seventh and left after the next batter, Mallex Smith, reached on an infield single. Ryan Tepera came on and walked Pham, then struck out Matt Duffy to end the threat.Tyler Clippard worked the eighth and Ken Giles finished for his 24th save in 24 opportunities.Glasnow allowed three runs and six hits in six innings in losing for the fourth time in five starts. He’s 0-2 with an 8.49 ERA in three starts against Toronto.IN GOOD STANDING, PART 1Tellez has 12 extra-base hits in his first 16 games Joey Wendle Jersey , tied for fourth most since 1913. Joe DiMaggio (1936), Chris Dickerson (2008) and Trevor Storey (2016) each had 13.IN GOOD STANDING, PART 2Pannone said he enjoyed walking off with the crowd of 27,648 on their feet.“It’s probably the coolest feeling ever when you walk off the mound and everyone is standing up like that cheering at you,” Pannone said. “It’s overwhelming in that moment. You look up and you’re like ‘Wow, all these people are cheering for me right now.'”SOLO ACTFifteen of Pham’s 20 homers this season have been solo blasts.TRAINER’S ROOMRays: OF Kevin Kiermaier was held out of the starting lineup. Manager Kevin Cash said Kiermaier was “a little banged up.” … DH Ji-Man Choi (left knee) did not start but came on as a pinch hitter in the ninth, drawing a one-out walk. Choi left Friday’s game after five innings.UP NEXTRays LHP Blake Snell (20-5, 1.97) faces Blue Jays LHP Ryan Borucki (4-4, 3.86) in Sunday’s series finale. Snell is 8-0 with a 1.17 ERA in his past eight starts, striking out 63 batters over 46 innings in that stretch. Borucki pitched eight shutout innings to beat Baltimore in his previous outing, snapping a three-start winless streak. The most impressive performances from the 2018 World Series came from the unlikeliest of players.The Boston Red Sox benefited from standout showings by a journeyman first baseman and a pitcher with a history of postseason struggles.As for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who fell short in the World Series for the second consecutive season, they received some impressive performances of their own http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-christian-arroyo-jersey , but they just weren't enough to overpower the machine that was the Red Sox.Thanks to the collection of brilliant outings over five games, the Red Sox are headed home to celebrate their fourth World Series crown in 15 years, while the Dodgers are left to figure out what it needs to do to win its first world championship since 1988. Most Impressive World Series PerformancesSteve PearceSteve Pearce's second-ever postseason participation will live on in baseball lore forever.The World Series Most Valuable Player bashed a pair of home runs in Game 5 to secure his spot in MLB history and send the Red Sox back home with a trophy.Pearce recorded the best batting average of any Boston player with more than 10 at-bats, and he led the club in home runs and RBI in five World Series games.Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesMost of Pearce's damage was done in the final two games of the series, as he drove in seven runs鈥攆our in Game 4 and three in Game 5.Prior to the 2018 postseason, Pearce had one RBI in seven playoff contests from Baltimore's run to the American League Championship Series in 2014.Before Game 4, the 35-year-old was an afterthought when discussing the Boston lineup, as he failed to record a hit in four straight games.But the MVP showed up in the most critical moments, with an eighth-inning home run in Games 4 and 5 as well as a first-inning blast that set the tone for the series-clinching victory. David PriceThe other Boston player deserving of MVP honors was David Price, who got rid of his postseason demons with a pair of terrific performances in Games 2 and 5.Price, who earned his first postseason victory as a starter in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Houston Astros, twirled a pair of gems on the mound, as he gave up three earned runs over 13 innings.David J. Phillip/Associated PressIn the process http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-nathan-eovaldi-jersey , Price eliminated any concerns about his postseason production that lingered from his awful showing in Game 2 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees.Price's Game 5 performance was his most important, as he allowed the tired Boston bullpen to rest as he kept the Dodgers lineup off balance.The left-handed hurler wasn't overpowering like some of the other pitchers in the World Series, as he recorded five strikeouts in each start, but he was on point and didn't make many mistakes.Because of his turnaround in the ALCS and World Series, Price forever reversed the narrative around his postseason capabilities, and he'll go down as one of the most important figures of Boston's championship run. Justin TurnerBright spots were hard to come by for the Dodgers, but they did have a few players who stepped up to give them a fighting chance in each game.Third baseman Justin Turner hit .333 in the World Series and recorded the most hits of any Dodgers player with eight.Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesTurner's production came in bunches, as he had three games in which he produced two or more hits, including three base knocks each in Games 1 and 4.Unfortunately for Turner, the batters behind him in the Los Angeles order were unable to deliver the same results at the plate.Turner crossed the plate twice in the World Series because of the inefficiency of players like Manny Machado, who hit .182 in what could have been his final appearances in a Dodgers uniform.
