TORONTO -- Kelly Johnson and Desmond Jennings homered and Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb pitched 6 1-3 strong innings as the Rays defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre.

He took a 2-1 pitch from Ortiz over the wall in centre field for his eighth homer of the year. Jennings hit Ortizs first pitch of the third inning over the wall in left-centre for his fifth home run of the season. Left-hander Aaron Loup relieved Ortiz with runners on the corners and one out. First baseman Edwin Encarnacion made a nice defensive play by short-hopping a Loney chopper on the run and throwing out Ben Zobrist at home. Scott then drove in Longoria with a single to make it 4-0. Rasmus woke up the quiet crowd of 15,802 with a solo shot -- his seventh homer of the year -- in the fifth inning. The ball bounced off the 300-level scoreboard in right field and fell into the seats in the second deck.
