Anyone who is familiar with Kevin Kiermaier of the Tampa Bay Rays knows that he is basically a human highlight reel.

Tampa Bay Rays’ Joey Butler lines an RBI single off Toronto Blue…
The Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays play a rubber game Wednesday afternoon.
Drew Hutchison is a home splits favorable pitcher and will be making the start for the Blue Jays tonight.
There isn’t likely to be a second straight slugfest with the quality of pitchers on the mound Tuesday as the Tampa Bay Rays host the Toronto Blue Jays in the second of a three-game series. “I’m not losing any sleep over it”.
Dickey gave up eight hits and three runs over seven innings in his first game back after bereavement leave after the death of his father last week. The organization and my teammates, the support I’ve received from those guys, some of the classiest moves I’ve ever been associated with in baseball. Archer held the unsafe Toronto lineup to just 3 hits and 2 runs, 1 earned, over 8 innings, striking out 7 and walking just 1.
Cabrera’s eighth-inning home run off reliever Steve Delabar turned out to be the difference in the game, giving Tampa Bay a two-run cushion heading to the ninth.
The home side bagged a run in the second inning off a wild pitch and an RBI single from Brandon Guyer.
“I thought he threw the ball well, he just couldn’t avoid those home runs”, said Rays manager Kevin Cash. “It made me feel really good”.
CLEVELAND – Yoenis Cespedes and Nick Castellanos had the big hits in a six-run fifth inning, and David Price continued his domination of Cleveland in Detroit’s victory.
“That shows I’ve been around a long time”, Gibbons said.
During his streak, the right-hander has lowered that mark to 3.96, allowing 11 earned runs with 20 strikeouts over 25 innings and a. 223 opponent batting average.
NOTE: Look for the Jays to summon lefty Felix Doubront from Triple-A Buffalo if they decide to use a spot starter this Saturday to cover for the injured Aaron Sanchez. LHP Matt Moore (elbow surgery) appears on target to return late this month or early July. Pillar made the catch, but dropped the ball as he went to throw and was charged with a throwing error that allowed the run to score. The Rays added a single from right fielder Steven Souza, but left runners on the corners when Cabrera popped up to end the inning. RHP Erasmo Ramirez (groin) will have a bullpen session in the next few days and may be back for a start June 30.
Jose Bautista hit his 15th homer, a go-ahead drive during a four-run sixth inning.
The Bolts also threw out the first pitch. The Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final in six games.
