TORONTO (AP) — Francisco Mejía homered twice and Isaac Paredes had three hits and five RBIs, including a three-run home run, as the Tampa Bay Rays swept a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays won the first game 6-2, and nearly doubled their run output for the second with an 11-5 win. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a solo blast for his 19th home run and Bradley Zimmer added a two-run homer in the second game. Left-hander Shane McClanahan shut down the Blue Jays in the opener, allowing one run and three hits over seven innings and lowering his AL-leading ERA to 1.74. Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman left Game 1 after he was hit in the right ankle by a 100 mph line drive off the bat of Wander Franco in the second inning. The X-rays were negative.
