TORONTO -- Devon Travis is settling nicely into the leadoff spot in Torontos potent lineup.Travis had a career-high four hits, including the go-ahead single in the seventh inning, and the Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-5 on Monday night.Edwin Encarnacion hit his 299th career home run as the Blue Jays snapped a three-game losing streak against the Rays.Toronto is an MLB-best 45-26 since being swept at home by Tampa Bay from May 16-18. The Rays have gone 26-47 since, the worst record in the majors.Travis has been batting leadoff regularly since an Aug. 1 win at Houston. Hes 11 for 31 with three home runs and five RBI since moving to the top of the order.Hes on some kind of roll, manager John Gibbons said. Hes been doing a little bit of everything for us.Travis didnt play after July 28 last season because of a left shoulder injury that required offseason surgery. After watching from home while his teammates won the AL East last year, hes delighted to be a part of the playoff push this season.This is what its about, Travis said. It was tough last year, sitting at home as a fan, screaming at the TV and the umpires and pulling for the boys.Encarnacion and Jose Bautista both had three RBI as Toronto scored more than four runs for the first time since a 9-1 win over Baltimore on July 30.Joaquin Benoit (2-1) worked one inning for the win. Roberto Osuna gave up Logan Forsythes solo homer in the ninth but finished for his 25th save.Rays left-hander Xavier Cedeno (3-4) was replaced after walking the first two batters of the seventh. Dylan Floro came on and walked pinch-hitter Russell Martin to load the bases but got pinch-hitter Justin Smoak to bounce back to the mound, with Michael Saunders forced at home. Saunders took out catcher Bobby Wilson as he slid in, preventing what might have been an inning-ending double play. Travis followed with an RBI single and Bautista hit a two-run double.Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said the double play became a challenge after Floro bobbled Smoaks bouncer.Were an executed play away from getting out of the inning with no runs, Cash said. We didnt execute the play and then they bust it open.Rays right-hander Jake Odorizzi came in riding a streak of 20 2/3 scoreless innings but couldnt extend it. Travis tripled on Odorizzis second pitch of the game and scored when Bautista followed with a first-pitch sacrifice fly.I wouldnt say I really had my best stuff tonight, Odorizzi said. I had to battle a lot.Encarnacion doubled the lead with a two-out homer, his 31st. It was Torontos 17th straight solo home run, the longest streak since the Giants hit 21 in 2011.Mikie Mahtook and Steve Souza Jr. tied it with RBI doubles in the fourth but the Blue Jays regained the lead on Encarnacions two-out, two-run single in the bottom half.They keep coming at you, Tampa Bays Brad Miller said of Toronto. We kept firing and firing and firing. They just did a better job of it.Tampa Bay tied it 4-all and chased knuckleballer R.A. Dickey on Millers two-run double in the fifth. Miller has at least one RBI in six straight games.The Rays put runners at second and third with no outs in the seventh but couldnt score. Evan Longoria struck out and Forsythe didnt tag from third on Millers fly ball to Bautista in right.We know where Bautista is at right now, Cash said. Thats a throw that weve seen him make over and over.FOUR PLAYThe Rays allowed four or more runs runs for the third time in 14 games.

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Travis Kelce Super Bowl Jersey .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. BALTIMORE -- Surrounded by the two players he secured shortly before the non-waiver trade deadline, Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette flashed a proud smile.Left-handed starter Wade Miley sat on Duquettes right side and Steve Pearce was on the left at an introductory news conference Tuesday.The addition of Miley, a veteran left-handed starter, and Pearce, a solid utility man with long-ball power, just might be the difference in first-place Baltimores bid to reach the postseason for the second time in three years.Miley was obtained in a trade with Seattle and Pearce came from Tampa Bay.Our scouts have followed Wade for several years, Duquette said. We tried to trade for him when he was in Arizona (from 2011-14). We tried to trade for him again when the Red Sox sent him to Seattle (last December). We didnt really match up. So now we have him. We think hes a good fit. If he can keep the ball on the ground, hes going to help stabilize our rotation.The 33-year-old Pearce played with Baltimore in 2012 and from 2013 through last year.Steve helps us in a lot of different areas, Duquette said. He can play the infield, he can pinch hit, he can play a couple different outfield positions and hes a terrific defensive first baseman.Miley went 7-8 with a 4.98 ERA with the Mariners but was coming off a sound outing against the Chicago Cubs in which he allowed one run over seven innings. Now, the 29-year-old hopes to keep the momentum rolling with the Orioles.When I first found out, I was excited, to go from a third-place team to a first-place team overnight, Miley said.ddddddddddddTheres nothing wrong with that. So hopefully I can just come in here and not screw that up.Pearce left a Rays team that was 20 games under .500. He returns to a place where hes enjoyed some of his best seasons in the majors.We were struggling down there in Florida, Pearce said. So to come from worst place to first place is definitely a better situation. Im excited, especially with the group thats in there right now. Ive been playing with those guys forever. So Im ready to pick up where we left off and pave the way toward the playoffs.Both players provide Baltimore with an instant fix, but Miley comes with a contract that extends through 2017 with a club option for 2018. That wasnt necessarily the motivation for Duquette to make the deal, but it sure didnt hurt.Hes got all the qualities to help our club, and not just for this year, for next year, Duquette said.Miley cant wait to get started. Manager Buck Showalter said its likely the lefty will make his Baltimore debut on Thursday night against the Texas Rangers.Im just going to go out when its my turn to pitch and just try to give us a chance to win, he said. Thats kind of what Ive done throughout my career. Just go out and compete.Pearce will probably get his first start on Wednesday, Showalter said.To make room for the newcomers on the roster, the Orioles optioned pitchers Tyler Wilson and Odrisamer Despaigne to Triple-A Norfolk.
