Carl Crawford singled to center off Roy Halladay with one out in the top of the first and that was all the offense allowed by the former Cy Young Award winner.
Jason Hammel is on the mound here in the bottom of the first, but for how long we don’t know.
This is Hammel’s last start of the spring. He’ll probably pitch in a minor league game Sunday morning before the team flies to Baltimore in the afternoon.
At this point, the Rays just want Hammel to throw a certain amount of pitches, so he could work the first four or five innings then head to the bullpen so Maddon can get innings for his bullpen.
Percival, Miller, Wheeler and Reyes are all here.
The Jays test both Johnson and Hinske in their half of the first.
Johnson is the middle man when Lyle Overbay grounded into a 4-6-3 double play. He looked smooth taking the throw from Cannizaro and coming across the bag before firing on to first to complete the play.
Hinkse went to his left with ease to field a grounder by Alex Rios that ended the inning.
Each side has a hit, but nothing else.
