TORONTO -- The Rays have swept the Blue Jays in this three-game series in Toronto, and this game was all homers. In the second inning, Matt Stairs belted a lead-off home run to give the Blue Jays an early lead, and Aaron Hill added to that in the third with a solo shot, but Cliff Floyd gave the Rays the lead in the fourth with a three-run jack. Vernon Wells tied it up in the bottom of the inning with a lead-off home run. Carl Crawford gave the Rays the lead again in the sixth with a two-run homer, and B.J. Upton added to that in the eighth with a lead-off home run, extending the lead to three. Alex Rios narrowed the lead to two in the eighth with a solo shot, but Rocco Baldelli got that run back in the ninth with an RBI double, the only run not scored on a homer.
