Longo, Souza help lift Rays past Blue Jays

Toronto's Troy Tulowitzki's two-run double in the first staked Jays starter Francisco Liriano to a 2-0 lead, but the Rays answered with a five-run outburst in the bottom half of the inning.

Liriano walked Souza to start the Rays' first. One out later, Evan Longoria homered. Liriano then walked Rickie Weeks Jr., and Derek Norris before unleashing a wild pitch. Brad Miller followed that with a two-run double. He walked the next batter, then allowed a single to load the bases before Toronto manager John Gibbons mercifully gave him the hook.
