Kevin Kiermaier ready to stop former team from making history

Welcome inside the Rogers Centre, the roof is open and it's a beautiful night for the Toronto Blue Jays to save

history

from being made. They will face the Tampa Bay Rays, who are currently practicing on the field. Right now, the Rays have been red hot. starting the season with a 13-0 mark, tying a 1901 record for most consecutive wins to start a season tonight also marks the first time Kevin Kiermaier will face

former

Tampa Bay Rays in Toronto as a tile facing a lot of friends there because you know this is going to be different than any series I've ever been a part of I just know a lot about the guys that will be there but yeah just nod out of courtesy or whatever but you know once we get in the box and you know it's going to be a battle from there Kiermaier was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2010 and spent his entire career with the Rays until signing with the Blue Jays in December. but I knew waking up today was going to see some old faces today and I'm really looking forward to racing these guys so I'm really excited.

that for a year kept Jace from advancing to the playoffs and he's not surprised the Rays started the season the way they have and now that they're 13- 0 um they can shoot anyone who plays defense and they have enough weapons and you know the lineup to beat you offensively there's a lot of good players there and um I didn't think anyone would expect them to be 13-0 but at the same time, no I'm surprised Kiermaier would say it's a bittersweet day to see his

former

team

mates, but he's up for anything when it comes to the Blue Jays and would love to be a part of the team that

stop

s his former team from

making

history

.

He would. I love you, you know we show up on the pitch every day to win and that's our goal and, you know, to live in a lot of pubs, a lot of rightfully so headlines, very well deserved, but we'll do everything. in our power for them to keep that three-year four-way tie, whatever it is, for all teams 13-0 before the entire MLB era which was in 1884, it was 20 straight wins and it was by the San louis garnet
