Toronto Gets 6-4 Win Against Rays
The Toronto Blue Jays picked up a win at Rogers Centre, topping the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-4. On the mound for Toronto was right-hander Max Scherzer. He played a principal role in the triumph. The loss makes Tampa Bay 56-104.

The Blue Jays got a big at-bat from shortstop Ke'Bryan Hayes. For the game, Hayes was 1 for 4 with a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the sixth, with the bases loaded, he stroked a bases-clearing double. His 16th double of the season gave Toronto a 5-4 lead.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Scherzer, "and then get after it again."
