TORONTO -- The Rays have won the second game of this series in Toronto. In the fourth inning, after Carlos Pena broke up Reichert's* perfect game, Evan Longoria ended the shutout with a two-run blast. Cliff Floyd added to that in the same inning with an RBI double. The Blue Jays scored their first run in the bottom of the fourth with a Shannon Stewart RBI double. The Blue Jays scored another run in the sixth when Scott Rolen hit RBI single. For the second game in a row, the Rays put up a five run inning, today in the eighth. Jason Bartlett led-off the inning with a solo bomb to dead center, and they kept adding from there. Carlos Pena came up with an RBI single, and Cliff Floyd capped it off with a huge three-run homer. Brian McCann knocked in the Blue Jays' third run in the eighth with an RBI single, and they nearly made a comeback in the ninth, scoring three runs off Jason Hammel, including back-to-back RBI doubles by Lyle Overbay and Gregg Zaun, later followed by an RBI single by Alex Rios, but Percival came on for the last out and got the save.
