ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- After struggling against Marco Estrada in the first five innings, the Tampa Bay Rays started to break through in the sixth and Matt Duffy came up with the big hit.Duffys three-run double highlighted a five-run inning and the last-place Rays beat the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays for the second straight game, 7-5 on Saturday night.The big outburst came against Estrada (8-7) after he allowed just two singles in the first five innings. Duffys double, the fifth hit of the sixth, missed being a grand slam by less than two feet.You need to find ways to stay in a game by grinding out at bats and stringing together good at bats, Duffy said. When you do that, you find yourself in a situation like that where youve got bases loaded, nobody out and nobodys hit a ball hard yet.We found ourselves with opportunities and once you do that, you look to do damage.Rookie Blake Snell (5-7) got the win after giving up one run and two h`its while striking out seven in six innings.Torontos lead in the division was trimmed to one-half game over Boston, which played at Oakland later Saturday.When he began the sixth inning, Estrada had given up only two runs in 22 1/3 career innings at Tropicana Field. Bobby Wilson, Logan Forsythe, Kevin Kiermaier and Evan Longoria opened the inning with consecutive singles. After a walk to Brad Miller brought in a second run, Duffy cleared the bases with a double to make it 5-1 and get Estrada out of the game.That last inning, a bloop hit, I couldnt make the play on a bunt, next thing you know its 5-1, Estrada said. Im not really sure what happened. Just kind of got out of hand.That inning got away in a hurry, said Toronto manager John Gibbons. Marco was rolling right along and then bam! They piled on right there.Kiermaier made it 7-1 with a two-run home run off reliever Joe Blagini in the seventh.Toronto rallied for four runs in the ninth off Enny Romero before Alex Colome got the final out for his 30th save.Forsythe had three of the Rays 13 hits and scored twice.Estrada gave up five runs and seven hits in five-plus innings, striking out six.BAD SPOT FOR BLUE JAYSThe Blue Jays will have to win their remaining four games against the Rays to win their season series for only the second time in the last 11 years.

The Blue Jays are 31-61 at Tropicana Field since 2006.SOUZA BENCHEDOF Steven Souza Jr., who has struck out 144 times in 105 games, was out of the Rays lineup for the fourth time in five games. We have an opportunity here this last month to see some guys play, manager Kevin Cash said. To be honest with you, the guys that are in there (Nick Franklin, Corey Dickerson) are really producing.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: RHP Gavin Floyd (strained right shoulder) hopes to throw off a mound soon. He started a throwing program three weeks ago.Rays: RHP Chase Whitley (Tommy John surgery) will likely make his final minor league start Sunday for Double-A Montgomery. He is 2-0 with a 1.09 ERA over eight previous outings.UP NEXTBlue Jays: J.A. Happ (17-4) will try to become only the second left-hander to win 18 games for the Blue Jays.

"It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. Hector Moreno Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. After having more trouble than expected in the season opener against Miami University, Iowas defense redeemed itself with a dominating performance against in-state rival Iowa State last week.The 13th-ranked Hawkeyes moved to 2-0 behind a defense that limited the Cyclones to 126 yards on the ground, 291 total yards and three points. The offense also contributed its share in the 42-3 victory that snapped a two-game home losing streak in the annual series.The win over Iowa State certainly was convincing, but strange as it sounds, the Cyclones probably arent at the level of the Hawkeyes FCS opponent this week. Five-time defending national champion North Dakota State visits Iowa City on Saturday (noon, ESPN2) for what promises to be Iowas sternest test on the non-conference schedule.Theyre the best team weve faced thus far, Iowa running back LeShun Daniels said Tuesday.North Dakota State (2-0) has won its last five games against FBS opponents and has an 8-3 record against schools at the top level of college football. The Bison, coached by Iowa native Chris Klieman, have defeated two FCS opponents in overtime to start this season, putting up 50 points against Eastern Washington last week.When we talk about North Dakota State, they take a backseat to no one, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. Theyre accustomed to winning. They know what it takes and theyve got good players who are well coached.Ill go out on a limb and predict this will be a really strong team, a really tough opponent for us.Iowa enters its final non-conference matchup with a 14-game regular-season winning streak and a nine-game home win streak. The Hawkeyes last home loss was at the end of the 2014 season.Quarterback C.J. Beathard has won all nine of his starts in Kinnick Stadium, but Beathard and the Hawkeyes know better than to underestimate the invading Bison. North Dakota State has an astounding 20-0 record in the playoffs the past five years and is expected to bring at least 10,000 fans to 70,585-seat Kinnick.Their fans are going to be pumped, Iowa cornerback Desmond King said. Theyre playing against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Our fans vs. their fans. Thats what its going to be.Klieman grew up a Hawkeyes fan in Waterloo, Iowa, and was Northern Iowas defensive coordinator in 2009 when the Panthers nearly pulled off an upset in Iowa City.dddddddddddd Hes now in his third season as North Dakota States head coach after three years as an assistant.The Bison, who sent quarterback Carson Wentz to the Philadelphia Eagles this year as the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft, are prepared for more of a physical challenge than they face in FCS.In the time Ive been here, this is the most complete team the Bison will have faced, Klieman said. They come at you like, We are going to line up and we are going to run right at you and we are going to knock you off the football. Can you hold up? The first two opponents theyve played havent held up.Iowa played well against Iowa State after giving up 424 yards to Miami University in a 45-21 opening win.Beathard passed for 235 yards and three touchdowns against the Cyclones last week and has yet to throw an interception this year. Iowas top two running backs, Daniels and Akrum Wadley, are splitting carries and have combined for 365 of the teams 410 yards and six rushing touchdowns in the first two games.The defensive difference-maker from Week 1 to Week 2 could well have been Josey Jewell. The middle linebacker was ejected early in the first quarter of the opener because of a targeting penalty but came back to lead the team with nine tackles and was all over the field.When hes in there, we play a lot better, Ferentz said. He adds a lot to our tempo, helps us be a little more active out there.The defensive line was missing injured end Parker Hesse, whos expected back this week, but defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson played a key role in the trenches. He had one of his better games with seven tackles and a sack, but he wasnt satisfied because the defensive gave up three points.I prefer it to be none, he said. But you wont ever play a perfect game.Jewell compared North Dakota State to a Big Ten opponent. The Bisons offense, with sophomore Easton Stick taking over at quarterback for Wentz, has displayed balanced in the first two games, rushing for a 255-yard average and passing for 225.5.Were going to have to be ready for smash-mouth football, Jewell said.
