McClanahan becomes 1st 8-game winner as Rays rebound from blowout loss to Blue Jays

Shane McClanahan became the first eight-game winner in the majors this season and the Tampa Bay Rays rebounded from a 19-run loss to beat the visiting Toronto Blue Jays 7-3 on Wednesday night.

McClanahan (8-0) allowed one run, four hits and struck out seven in seven innings. Tampa Bay is 10-1 when the left-hander takes the mound.

McClanahan joins Matt Moore (2013) and Charlie Morton (2019) as the only Rays pitchers to start 8-0 as Tampa Bay improved to 23-5 at home.

Raley, a first baseman, pitched 1 2/3 innings Tuesday night in a 20-1 loss to the Blue Jays in which he allowed seven runs, including a grand slam by Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The announced crowd was a season-low 8,699. The Rays started the day averaging 17,478, which was ninth in the American League.

Tampa Bay regained a four-run lead, at 7-3. on eighth-inning RBI singles by Siri and Wander Franco.
