Rays Tag Blue Jays with 4-0 Loss
The Rays grabbed a win, 4-0, at Rogers Centre, overcoming a fine effort from Toronto pitcher Nestor Cortes. Cortes went 6 innings and allowed no runs. The win went to Jacob Lopez in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Irv Carter took the loss. Their 69-86 record puts the Rays 4th in the American League East Division.

Tampa Bay used the timely hitting of Willmer De La Cruz to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rays on top, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Not too many highlights on our side," said losing manager Sam Saunders.
