Zobrist Helps Rays Run Win Streak to 4
The Tampa Bay Rays knocked off the Toronto Blue Jays, 9-1, at Rogers Centre. Ben Zobrist, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Tampa Bay won. The left fielder went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Michael Pineda was the winning pitcher. Over 7.1 innings, he allowed 1 run on 6 hits, with no walks and 5 strikeouts. Tampa Bay is now riding a 4-game win streak.

Zobrist had a key at-bat for Tampa Bay early in the game. With a runner on 2nd, he hit a run-scoring double. It was his 5th double of the season and gave Tampa Bay an early 1-0 lead.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Zobrist.
