04/06 Tampa Bay 6, Toronto 5

It was all for naught.

After being down 3-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays (the devil is silent) through 5, the Jays tied it up with three of their own in the top of the 7th, then got a 2-run homerun from Troy Glaus in the 8th to take the lead 5-3.

Then B.J. Ryan came in to seal the deal, and the deal was blown wide open.

Ryan allowed a 2 run homerun to Delmon Young to tie the game at 5, then B.J. Upton hit a chop single that shortstop Royce Clayton couldn't handle to give Tampa the win.

Gustavo Chacin was decent in his first start of '07, allowing 6 hits over 6 innings, but gave up 3 solo homers to the Rays young offence.

Besides Glaus' homerun, the other offensive star for Toronto was second baseman Aaron Hill, the only Jay with more than one hit in the game.

Tomo Ohka get the start on Saturday in Tampa.

WP: Jae Kuk Ryu (1-0)
