The Toronto Blue Jays (85-66) defeated the Tampa Bay Rays (93-59) 4-2 on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field to even the three game series at a game apiece.

Brandon Lowe drove in the first run of the game in the second, but the Blue Jays answered with a run in the third to tie the game before Lourdes Gurriel homered in the fifth to take a 2-1 lead. After the Rays tied the game in the bottom of the fifth, the Blue Jays reclaimed the lead with a Bo Bichette RBI in the top of the sixth. Teoscar Hernandez drove in the game's final run in the eighth inning to lift Toronto to a 4-2 win.

Drew Rasmussen got the start, allowing two earned runs on four hits in five innings while striking out three and walking one. Nick Anderson (0-1, 3.60) took the loss after allowing a run in the sixth, before Michael Wacha came into the game to pitch the final three innings for the Rays.
