Basallo Goes Deep Twice in 8-6 Rays Win
The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-6, at Rogers Centre. The win was due in part to catcher Samuel Basallo, who slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Tampa Bay pitcher Vjacheslav Swanson got the win. He's now 5-3. Joey Poovey was tagged with the loss. The victory puts Tampa Bay at 56-81.

Josh Placide drove in one run against the Blue Jays. With the game tied in the top of the eighth inning, he hit a sacrifice fly that put Tampa Bay in front, 7-6.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Tampa Bay skipper Will Dymek.
