(The Sports Xchange) - The streaking Toronto Blue Jays were given extra assistance from the Rangers after Texas helped them score two runs with two outs in the ninth inning for a come-from-behind 6-5 victory on Tuesday.

The win also enabled the Blue Jays (70-55) to move 15 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 1993 season.

Texas closer Shawn Tolleson, 25-for-26 in save situations coming into the game, got into trouble with two walks in the ninth before Toronto shortstop Troy Tulowitzki tied the game at 5-5 by flipping a full-count single to left field with two outs.
