Rays Use Late Push to Top Blue Jays
The Tampa Bay Rays stopped the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-5, at Rogers Centre. The Rays got a big game from Brandon Lowe, who went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. J P Howell picked up the win in relief for Tampa Bay, while Duane Ward took the loss. The 4th-place Rays have won 6 in a row.

Tampa Bay used a timely hit from Ben Zobrist to get the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rays ahead, 7-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"It all comes down to competing and our guys love to compete," said Rays manager .
