TORONTO — Talk about flipping the script.
A day after blowing a seven-run lead late and losing in extra innings, the Rays on Sunday came back from a seven-run deficit late and beat the Blue Jays 10-9.
The Rays scored in the final five innings to do so, tying at 9 in the eighth then taking the lead in the ninth. Walks by Austin Meadows and Matt Duffy around a Nate Lowe singled loaded the bases and a slow bouncer by Joey Wendle to second got the run home.
The win was just the Rays’ fourth in their last 12 games, 10th in 22 and 19th in 43 as they held their ground at 60-48, just behind the AL wild-card leaders, pending later action by the Red Sox and A’s.
