He was hammered for eight runs on eight hits Sunday in 2.2 innings in a loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee. Berrios had two walks and one strikeout.

The Rays have given Berrios problems as he has an 0-3 lifetime record against them in five starts with a 5.76 ERA.

Tampa Bay vs Toronto Betting Outlook

Teoscar Hernandez and Santiago Espinal each hit two-run home runs to account for the Blue Jays’ scoring in Thursday night’s win.

Hernandez connected in the second inning to make it 2-0. Espinal’s blast in the seventh extended the lead to 4-1 and completed the scoring.

Hernandez went 3 for 4 and added a double.

Isaac Paredes hit a solo home run in the fourth inning for the Rays and Yandy Diaz had two of their five hits.

The Rays placed two relievers, left-hander Brooks Raley and right-hander Ryan Thompson, on the restricted list for the series. All unvaccinated players must go on the IR as they are not permitted entry into Canada.

Righties Javy Guerra and Phoenix Sanders were called up from Triple-A Durham.

Tampa Bay is expected to have center fielder Kevin Kiermaier back in the lineup Friday. He has been out since June 21 with right hip inflammation.

The teams have split four games this season but the Rays hold a 155-101 advantage in the series since 2018.
