The Tampa Bay Rays did just enough to sneak past the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-2, at Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay center fielder Aaron Hicks earned player of the game honors. James Paxton was the winner. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. Keone Kela converted his 26th save in 30 tries.

Hicks contributed a big hit, a 2-run single, for Tampa Bay in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 2-1, Hicks took a fastball from Robbie Erlin and stroked the single to center. His 20th hit of the season allowed the Rays to leap in front, 3-2.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Hicks told the Tampa Bay Daily News.

Tampa Bay is now 63-51, while Toronto is 45-70.
