Snell picks up MLB-leading 21st win as Rays shut out Blue Jays 5-2
TORONTO — Ryan Borucki may have lost Round 1, but he’s already eyeing his next matchup against Blake Snell.
Snell came out on top of a young pitchers’ duel against Borucki, winning his MLB-leading 21st game as the Tampa Bay Rays downed the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 on Sunday.
Snell shut out the Jays (71-85) over 6 2/3 innings of work, limiting them to three hits and two walks with 11 strikeouts.
Fellow lefty Borucki gave up two runs, three hits and four walks across seven innings while striking out seven. The 24-year-old picked up his 11th quality outing in his 15th start but dropped to 4-5.
