Rays catcher hits grand slam in 13th to beat Jays

TORONTO - The looming 10-game road trip represents a daunting task, especially with the Toronto Blue Jays still unsure what kind of offence their enigmatic lineup will produce from night to night.

So Thursday's disheartening 8-3 loss in 13 innings to the Tampa Bay Rays after an out-of-nowhere three-run rally tied things in the ninth was especially frustrating for a team still trying to find its way at the plate.

Carl Crawford's sacrifice fly to deep right off Shawn Camp (0-1) brought home Jason Bartlett with the winning run after he opened the 13th with a single that glanced off Aaron Hill's glove, and advanced to third on Akinori Iwamura's subsequent single.

FULL STORY

Well the Jays blew this game that's for sure!! They should have won it in the 10th, but couldn't get the runs home with the bases loaded. No one to blame but themselves.

That was brutal to watch. I mean I knew they weren't hitting with RISP, but come on. You need a little fly to the outfield to bring him home, and they couldn't do that.

No kidding, what does it take to hit a simple fly ball?

This is one of those times that I miss Reed Johnson. He may not hit the most home runs, he may not have a great batting average, but he executes well. Hell, he probably could've suicide squeezed the runner home.
