Blue Jays rookie Rowdy Tellez fought back tears as he described getting his first major-league hit on Wednesday. Toronto ended up beating the Tampa Bay Rays 10-3 at the Rogers Centre“It’s nothing short of amazing,” said Tellez. “I was just trying not to cry,” said Tellez when asked for his thoughts when he arrived at second base. My agent was the only one here.”With the hit, Tellez became the third player in team history with a pinch-hit extra-base hit in his first MLB plate appearance. Meanwhile, right fielder Randal Grichuk made a spectacular catch at the wall on a Kiermaier blast to end the third.
