Chirinos was pulled after five no-hit innings and the Rays went on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Monday. “It wasn’t (hard) at all,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said of taking Chirinos out. In addition to his starts, Chirinos sometimes comes in after an opener and is averaging five innings an outing. Charlie Montoyo, who was on Cash’s coaching staff the previous four seasons, returned to Tropicana Field for the first time as Blue Jays manager. The lefty went 3-0, striking out 62 and walking nine, over 41 2/3 innings with Double-A Montgomery.
