TORONTO -- Kevin Pillar scored the tiebreaking run on an infield grounder in the sixth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
Devon Travis had two hits and drove in a run as the Blue Jays won for the second time in nine meetings with the Rays.
Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman had his second straight abbreviated outing, leaving after five innings. Stroman left Tuesday's start against Boston after seven innings because of a blister on his right middle finger, walking off with the trainer after coming out to warm up for the eighth.
