ST. PETERSBURG -- Weak spots don't exist in the Blue Jays' lineup. On Monday night at Tropicana Field, that imposing lineup overpowered the Rays in a 5-3 win.
Left-hander Drew Smyly started for the Rays and allowed just six hits in 6 2/3 innings. Unfortunately for him and the Rays, three of those hits were home runs. Josh Thole and Josh Donaldson hit solo home runs and Michael Saunders added a two-run shot to lead the Blue Jays' offense and account for four of their first five runs.
