– Toronto’s Cavan Biggio slugged a three-run homer as the Blue Jays produced consecutive three-run innings in their 6-4 Opening Day win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Blue Jays tallied three times in the fourth inning before Biggio hit the team’s first homer with a three-run shot off Tampa Bay ace Charlie Morton in the following frame. Biggio, who notched 16 homers as a rookie in 2019, went 2-for-5 and scored twice. Teoscar Hernandez doubled and drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. Reliever Jordan Romano (1-0), a native of Markham, Ontario, Canada, earned his first career win in relief of starter Hyun-Jin Ryu. Rays newcomer Yoshi Tsutsugo clubbed a two-run homer in his debut, and Willy Adames was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Mike Brosseau ( RBI) and Jose Martinez also stroked doubles, but the club left 11 men on base. The first of 10 scheduled meetings between the clubs featured a matchup of 2019 All-Star—Toronto’s Ryu for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League, Morton in the American League.
