Edwin Encarnacion’s two-run single in the first and Troy Tulowitzki’s two-run homer in the eighth allowed Toronto to take a 5-1 lead into the eighth on Opening Day at Tropicana Field. Through eight, Marcus Stroman had allowed one run on four hits, one walk, and five strikeouts on ninety-two pitches. He’d also retired twelve consecutive Rays, so he was allowed to go for a complete game. Corey Dickerson led off and homered on a 0-2 pitch, then Desmond Jennings singled up the middle to chase him. Roberto Osuna came in and got to strikeouts before surrendering a single to Kevin Kiermaier that made it 5-3. Kiermaier moved up on in difference and a wild pitch, but the tying run was still embodied by Hank Conger at the plate, and he grounded back to Osuna to end the game.
