Tyler Glasnow returned to the Tampa Bay Rays' rotation and pitched well, but the bullpen blew another lead as the Rays lost 6-5 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Colin Poche, who had been pitching well but pitching often, allowed three straight hits in the seventh inning that helped the Dodgers take the lead. Miguel Vargas' homer in the eighth off Trevor Kelley ended up being the difference, as the Rays rallied for a run in the ninth but came up short.
The Tampa Bay Rays' record-tying 13-game winning streak to start the season came to an end with a 6-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays had been dominant, outscoring their opponents by 68 runs this season, but sloppy defense, imprecise pitching, and an inability to get hits in critical moments cost them the game. Colin Poche, a relief pitcher, walked two batters on nine pitches with the bases loaded, and second baseman Brandon Lowe made an error that cost two more runs. Bo Bichette went 5 for 5 for the Blue Jays, and George Springer hit a leadoff home run against Drew Rasmussen, who became the first Tampa Bay pitcher to lose this season.
The Tampa Bay Rays' historic 13-0 start to the season came to an end with a 6-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Colin Poche forced in two runs with bases-loaded walks and second baseman Brandon Lowe made a key error in a four-run fifth inning that lifted the Blue Jays to victory. George Springer hit a leadoff home run and Bo Bichette had five hits and an RBI for Toronto.

The Tampa Bay Rays extended their season-opening win streak to 10 games with a 1-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Brandon Lowe hit a homer in the eighth inning to secure the win, following a dramatic escape by reliever Colin Poche from a bases-loaded mess in the top of the inning. The Rays are the first team to win their first 10 games since the 1987 Brewers, and have now recorded three straight shutouts for the first time in their 26 seasons.
