The Toronto Blue Jays weathered a fine game by Tampa Bay designated hitter Erubiel Durazo to upend the Devil Rays, 7-4, at Tropicana Field. Durazo slugged 2 home runs. Hunter Jones, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 3rd save. Toronto goes to 3-1.

Toronto used the hitting of Yadier Molina to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 7-4. For the game, Molina had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Molina, "and then get after it again."
