Springer, Bieber lift Blue Jays past Rays 3-1 to snap four-game losing streak

On Thursday, July 23, 2026, Shane Bieber pitched seven strong innings as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1, salvaging the finale of their four-game series.
Toronto took an early lead in the first inning when Ernie Clement scored on an Alejandro Kirk infield single; the Rays tied it in the third on a Yandy Diaz RBI single.
Bieber allowed one run and three hits with three strikeouts in seven innings, while relievers Tyler Rogers and Louis Varland closed the final two innings without allowing a run.
Louis Varland earned his 21st save in 21 opportunities, though the Blue Jays remain 2-5 since the All-Star break while scoring just 13 total runs.
Friday's matchups send RHP Trey Yesavage to Boston against Red Sox LHP Patrick Sandoval for Toronto, while the Rays host LHP Shane McClanahan against Cleveland LHP Joey Cantillo.
