Toronto reliever Joaquin Benoit picked up the victory with a scoreless inning of relief while right-hander Danny Barnes played a crucial role by not allowing a run over his 2 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ allowed three runs and recorded just eight outs because of a high pitch count that reached 85 before the third inning was over.
Rays righty Kevin Jepsen took the loss after he opened the eighth inning by walking Dioner Navarro and then allowing the homer to Martin.
