Rays Pull No Punches, Down Blue Jays, 14-2
The Tampa Bay Rays pasted the Toronto Blue Jays with a convincing 14-2 defeat at Rogers Centre. Dave Van den Bussche was a prime factor in the Tampa Bay win. He was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. The winner was John Campbell, who threw 97 pitches over 5.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 4 hits. Toronto drops to 6-16.

Jay Burney had a big 2-run home run for the Rays in the top of the third inning. With Tampa Bay leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a slider from Alex Bartolo, who is tied for 8th in the AL in innings pitched with 31.1, and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Rays on top, 4-1.

Toronto manager Rodney Smith called the blowout loss "undesirable."
