    B.J. Upton kept Jo-Jo Reyes from getting his first win in three years.

    Upton hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, giving the Tampa Bay Rays a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

    After Ben Zobrist singled to start the ninth off Jon Rauch (1-2), Upton hit an 0-1 pitch into the left field seats for the victory.

    "That was pretty cool," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "That ball was properly struck right there."
