20 Matt Joyce, RF

Rays outfielder Matt Joyce was frustrated Saturday by Baltimore's exaggerated shift used against him defensively, MLB.com reports. 

"The shift is tough," Joyce said. "After the first at-bat, I came in and told Joe [Maddon] I'm probably going to try and hit the ball to left field. And he said, 'No, just be you. Stay who you are. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll find the holes.'"

Joyce doubled twice by the end of Saturday's game. He also homered and drove in five RBI. 

"That's what I talk about all the time. I just want him to be himself," Maddon said. "That's what we try to do to other teams. Don't let them do that to us. I always talk to our guys about dictating to the other side. I don't want them to dictate to us. So just be yourself. Go up there and swing the bat like you can, and it's all going to come back to you."

Rays right fielder Matt Joyce had three of his team's 10 extra-base hits in a 10-6 win over the Orioles Saturday night, including two doubles and his seventh home run. He drove in a team-high five runs.

It was the first three-hit game of the season for Joyce, who has hit .279/.380/.512 in 43 at-bats in May.

After playing in five of the previous six games, the Rays gave outfielder Matt Joyce a game off Monday against Toronto with left-hander Mark Buehrle on the hill. 

Joyce is batting an ugly .067 against left-handed pitchers this season over 15 plate appearances. 

Hitting .243 overall on the season, Joyce has gone 8 for 31 (.258) over his last eight games with four homers and seven RBI.
