The Tampa Bay Rays are looking to finish off the Toronto Blue Jays in the first round of the AL playoffs up 1-0 in a best-of-three series. Two SEC alumni just gave the Rays pitching staff a huge boost in securing the win.

Former Florida catcher Mike Zunino is better known for his defense, but he came through with his bat in the second inning, launching a two-run bomb.

The Rays’ offense wasn’t done. Former Mississippi State standout Hunter Renfroe added a grand slam, making it 7-0 in the second.

The Rays lead 7-1 in the bottom of the third inning of the elimination game.
