The Toronto Blue Jays got a stellar performance from pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, who handcuffed the Tampa Bay offense en route to a 5-2 win at Tropicana Field. Danny Barnes, credited with the save, is now 2 for 4 in save opportunities. The first-place Blue Jays have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

Josh Bell, who leads the AL in triples with 12, chipped in for Toronto with a 2-run home run in the top of the first. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"I really like what we did out there today," Eovaldi said after the game.
