Blue Jays Halt Rays Win Streak as MLB Hierarchy Takes Shape
A full weekend on the diamond produced too many highlights to corral into a short form. Instead, we’re taking a full swing at early-season power rankings. The Rays saw their win streak come to an end at the hands of the Blue Jays. Toronto actually won two out of three in their weekend series. And it’s those two teams, plus the Braves riding a six-game win streak, who round out the top-3 in our power rankings entering the third week of the season.
