Tampa Bay Rays (84-77) 3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 11 1
Toronto Blue Jays (63-98) 0 0 4 0 0 0 2 0 X 6 8 1
Blue Jays Subdue Tampa Bay, 6-4
Tampa Bay center fielder Aaron Hicks was sensational. He belted 2 home runs, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Toronto beat the Rays, 6-4. Hicks was named the player of the game despite the loss. The winner was Danny Barnes in relief. His record improves to 2-4. Ryne Harper took the loss. Ken Giles converted his 11th save in 12 tries.

Had Elvis Andrus not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Andrus hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Blue Jays.

"I like to keep things lively in the clubhouse," said Andrus. "Believe me, it's much easier after a win."

With the win, Toronto goes to 63-98, while the Rays fall to 84-77.
