The late offensive eruption overshadowed what had been another dominant start for Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman. The 25-year-old started the eighth but was removed shortly after surrendering the first of the three Tampa Bay home runs. He was charged with two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 7 1/3 innings for his fourth quality start in five outings this season.
Lefty Blake Snell got the start for the Rays but he didn't receive a decision after he allowed two runs over five innings of work. Right-hander Austin Pruitt came on in relief and picked up the victory after he limited the Blue Jays to one run over three innings.
