Blue Jays score six in ninth, top Devil Rays

<h3>TORONTO 12, TAMPA BAY 11</h3>TORONTO (Ticker) -- The Toronto Blue Jays rallied for six runsto defeat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 12-11, on Tuesday.

Trailing, 11-6, Toronto benefited from four doubles, a passedball and a game-ending, bases-loaded walk to Aaron Hill thatcapped the comeback.

Four Tampa Bay pitchers - Chad Orvella, Sean Camp, Casey Fossum(3-6) and Tim Corcoran - combined to get only one out in theninth inning. Devil Rays closer Al Reyes had pitched in TampaBay's previous three games.

Adam Lind, who had a career-high five RBI, started the inningwith a double to center field. Jason Phillips, Vernon Wells andMatt Stairs then followed with run-scoring doubles - with Wellsdriving in two runs - to tie the game.

A passed ball then pushed runners to second and third and, afteran intentional walk, Corcoran walked Hill on five pitches toend the game.

Before the chaotic ninth, Tampa Bay's B.J. Upton and CarlCrawford did their best to give rookie Andy Sonnanstine plentyof offense in his major league debut.

Upton and Crawford belted back-to-back home runs as the TampaBay Devil Rays posted back-to-back four-run innings.

Upton, who clubbed a two-run homer in the fourth, went 4-for-6with two runs scored.

Crawford, who finished with three hits, highlighted the four-runthird inning with an RBI single off Toronto starter RoyHalladay. The hit was Crawford's 871st of his career, whichsurpassed Aubrey Huff for the franchise lead.

Crawford also doubled home Upton in the sixth to give Tampa Baya 9-5 lead.

Sonnanstine, who was drafted in the 13th round in 2004 out ofKent State University, allowed six runs on eight hits in seveninnings.

The 24-year-old righthander ran into trouble in the fourth.Lind, whose RBI single in the second gave the Blue Jays a 1-0lead, belted a three-run homer to cut into the Devil Rays' leadat 8-4.

Halladay (5-2) struggled in his second start since coming offthe 15-day disabled list after he underwent an emergencyappendectomy on May 11.

The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner allowed eight runs on 12 hitsin 3 1/3 innings.

Toronto catcher Sal Fasano left the game in the top of theeighth inning due to an undisclosed injury.

 

Blue Jays score six in ninth, top Devil Rays

<h3>TORONTO 12, TAMPA BAY 11</h3>TORONTO (Ticker) -- The Toronto Blue Jays rallied for sixruns to defeat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 12-11, on Tuesday.

Trailing, 11-6, Toronto benefited from four doubles, a passedball and a game-ending, bases-loaded walk to Aaron Hill thatcapped the comeback.

Four Tampa Bay pitchers - Chad Orvella, Sean Camp, Casey Fossum(3-6) and Tim Corcoran - combined to get only one out in theninth inning. Devil Rays closer Al Reyes had pitched in TampaBay's previous three games.

"It was the right thing to do to not pitch him (Reyes) tonight,"<div class="pre">Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "You'd like to think we</div>could get three outs with a five-run lead by using severaldifferent pitches. It's very disappointing, it's a bad moment."

Adam Lind, who had a career-high five RBI, started the inningwith a double to center field scoring Aaron Hill who walked tolead it off. Jason Phillips, Vernon Wells and Matt Stairs thenfollowed with run-scoring doubles - with Wells driving in tworuns - to tie the game.

"We were down by five, we threw some pretty good at-bats outthere a walk, and back-to-back doubles and then Vernon's verybig hit. It was a huge win," Stairs said.

A passed ball then pushed runners to second and third and, afteran intentional walk, Corcoran walked Hill on five pitches toend the game.

"Anytime you start off an inning you're down you want to get agood at-bat and hopefully try to start something. It was neatto start and finish it," Hill said.

Before the chaotic ninth, Tampa Bay's B.J. Upton and CarlCrawford did their best to give rookie Andy Sonnanstine plentyof offense in his major-league debut.

"I was pretty amped up to go out every inning," Sonnanstinesaid. I was just trying to keep the ball in the zone especiallywith that lead."

Upton and Crawford belted back-to-back home runs as the TampaBay Devil Rays posted back-to-back four-run innings.

Upton, who clubbed a two-run homer in the fourth, went 4-for-6with two runs scored.

Crawford, who finished with three hits, highlighted the four-runthird inning with an RBI single off Toronto starter RoyHalladay. The hit was Crawford's 871st of his career, whichsurpassed Aubrey Huff for the franchise lead.

"It's great, but it's kind of bittersweet, we ended up losingtonight. It's a good milestone, I'm happy about it," Crawfordsaid.

Crawford also doubled home Upton in the sixth to give Tampa Baya 9-5 lead.

Sonnanstine, who was drafted in the 13th round in 2004 out ofKent State University, allowed six runs on eight hits in seveninnings.

The 24-year-old righthander ran into trouble in the fourth.Lind, whose RBI single in the second gave the Blue Jays a 1-0lead, belted a three-run homer to cut into the Devil Rays' leadat 8-4.

"I wasn't breathing (during the ninth), I was sitting thereshaking saying come on guys let's go," Lind said.

Halladay (5-2) struggled in his second start since coming offthe 15-day disabled list after he underwent an emergencyappendectomy on May 11.

The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner allowed eight runs on 12 hitsin 3 1/3 innings.

"It's disappointing for me, it's tough to come out of games likethat," Halladay said.

Toronto catcher Sal Fasano left the game in the top of theeighth inning with a groin injury and is day to day.
