Thanks in large part to second baseman Josh Morgan, the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 9-4. Morgan went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Toronto pitcher Shae Simmons got the win, upping his record to 2-1. Héctor Saldaña got the loss. With the win, Toronto upped its record to 88-73.

Toronto left fielder Marcell Ozuna contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With two down, he hit a cutter to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 69th hit of the season and put the Blue Jays ahead, 6-3.

"We'll grab a cold beverage tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Morgan said.
