Toronto, ON -- Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Gregg Zaun's grand slam in the bottom of the 13th inning capped Toronto's 7-4 gut-wrenching victory over Tampa Bay in the second of three meetings with the Rays. After the Blue Jays blew a three-run lead in the ninth, the Rays went ahead for the first time in the game in the away 13th on Dioner Navarro's two-out, RBI single. Toronto showed some moxie in its season-high seventh straight victory, loading the bases on a pair of singles and a walk in the bottom half off Tampa closer Troy Percival. Zaun stepped in with two outs and smashed the first pitch he saw over the right- field wall for the game-winner. Brian Tallet (1-1) allowed Shawn Camp's inherited run in the 13th but was credited with the win. Zaun, Joe Inglett and Lyle Overbay each had three hits, with Overbay adding two solo homers. Percival (2-1) blew his fourth save of the season for the struggling Rays, who have dropped four of five. The Rays still remain 2 1/2 games ahead of the Red Sox in the AL East after Boston fell to Texas Saturday.
