ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Marco Estrada was sailing along through the first five innings. Then, he couldn't get an out in the sixth.
Matt Duffy's three-run double highlighted a five-run sixth and the last-place Tampa Bay Rays beat the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays for the second straight game, 7-5 on Saturday night.
"That inning got away in a hurry," noted Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "Marco was rolling right along and then bam! They piled on right there."
After getting just two hits against Estrada (8-7) in the first five innings, Duffy's double was the fifth hit of the sixth and missed being a grand slam by less than two feet.
