Relief holds Jays scoreless
Devil Rays 6, Blue Jays 2
Jason Hammel allowed two runs in three-plus innings on Wednesday. (Mike Carlson/AP)
 Gomes' homer
 Crawford's homer
It looked bleak after Jason Hammel left with a shoulder injury with his club down a run in the fourth inning, but a two-run blast by Carl Crawford turned the tide in a three-run sixth. The Rays tacked on two more runs en route to a victory. Jonny Gomes had a homer of his own in the third.
