Rays Topple Blue Jays with Late Rally
The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5, at Rogers Centre. The win was largely due to the efforts of left fielder Michael Conforto, who captured player of the game honors. He was 2-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The Rays bumped their record to 66-52 with this latest triumph.

Zack Cozart drove in one run for Tampa Bay. The 33-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch off Trevor Rosenthal. It was his 8th RBI of the season.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Cozart, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
