TORONTO -- Colby Rasmus knew his two-strike bunt in the 10th inning was a gutsy move. But it proved to be a good one. Three batters later, Jose Reyes hit a two-out, walk-off single off Jeff Beliveau to plate Rasmus from second and give the Toronto Blue Jays a wild 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in a game played under protest at Rogers Centre on Saturday. Rasmus, who was hitless in 10 previous at-bats versus Rays reliever Joel Peralta, dribbled a perfect bunt down the third base line to lead off the inning, and stole second as Munenori Kawasaki struck out for the second out of the frame. "I was just playing baseball, letting my instincts work and just playing the game," Rasmus said of the daring play. "I felt it would be a good time to try to get a bunt down, maybe to get something started. ... "I hadnt had much success off of (Peralta) in the past so I figured Id try a little bit different. I was just playing, trying to do the best I could." Rasmus best was just what the Blue Jays needed after losing 8-0 to Tampa Bay the night before in a game that seemed to lack emotion from the home dugout. On Saturday, the Blue Jays showed fight, giving up leads of 2-1 and 4-3 but battling back both times. Rasmus run came an inning after Tampa pinch hitter James Loney tied the game 4-4 with an RBI single off Toronto closer Casey Janssen in the top of the ninth. "I think yesterday we didnt have any energy. Today was a lot better," said Reyes, who had two hits and a run scored on the night. "Its even better when you have a W and hopefully we can win the series tomorrow." Though scored as a victory for now, there is a possibility that the Blue Jays win may not hold up. Rays manager Joe Maddon declared his team was playing the game under protest after Toronto won an instant replay challenge that overturned a safe call in the fourth inning. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons argued that starter Mark Buehrle had picked off Wil Myers, who had originally been called safe at first base. Myers was ruled out after nearly a three-minute delay. Maddon argued that Buehrle was already on the mound and the next batter, Yunel Escobar, was in the box when Gibbons issued his challenge. Should the league determine that the Rays chances of winning the game were affected by the umpires call, the game will be re-played from the fourth inning. "Umpires are trying to get it right," said Gibbons. "If its that close, theyve been looking at some plays like that ... Theres close plays on pickoffs all the time. But I thought they did the right thing. It turned out going in our favour. "Theyve been doing that more and more, you know. If theres a little time difference, violation, whatever you want to call it, they still want to get it right." Crew chief Bob Davidson said after the game he didnt feel Gibbons challenge came too late. "If I felt it was too late, then it would have been too late, and if Gibbons wanted to file a protest on that he probably could have, I dont know," Davidson said. "I thought it was extremely close but I saw Gibbons coming out of the dugout and Escobar might have just gotten into the box, but I thought by the time Gibbons was starting to come out, I thought by that rule it was still on time, barely, to file a challenge." Maddon saw things differently. "It was inappropriate for Bob to do what he did and permit that to happen," Maddon said of the crew chiefs decision to honour Gibbons challenge. "Im trusting that theyre going to interpret the rule properly and get us back to that point in the game." Dioner Navarro hit a two-run homer for the Jays (66-63), while left-fielder Melky Cabrera had two hits and an RBI. Dustin McGowan (5-3) picked up the win after pitching a scoreless top of the 10th. Buehrle lasted 6 1-3 innings, giving up three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two batters in the no-decision. The left-hander ran into trouble in the seventh inning. With the Jays up 2-1, Buehrle walked Escobar to put runners on first and second with one out before giving up a game-tying single to Rays catcher Jose Molina, and a double to Sean Rodriguez to give Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead. Rookie Aaron Sanchez replaced the 35-year-old Buehrle at that point, and struck out two over his 1 2-3 innings pitched. "I think physically and health-wise, the way Ive been feeling, this is obviously a positive," Buehrle said. "Obviously the results havent been there but youre going to go through some tough stretches and some good stretches throughout the year. This is one of those funks I was in. "Today wasnt the worst game but you know, when were up 2-1 and you try to get through that inning, I wasnt able to. So, just build off this and just continue. We have a month left, six or seven starts left and Im doing everything I can to finish off the season strong and see what happens." Rodriguez and Ben Zobrist had two hits and an RBI apiece for the Rays (63-66) while Peralta (2-4) took the loss. Jeremy Hellickson started the game and went 6 1-3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out eight in the no-decision. The Blue Jays took a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning on Navarros 10th homer of the season, which scored himself along with Edwin Encarnacion, who started the rally with a one-out double down the left-field line. The Rays opened the scoring in the third inning when a two-out bunt by Zobrist cashed in Rodriguez from third base. But Toronto got the run right back and then some in the bottom of the third. Danny Valencia walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch from Hellickson, then scored on a double from Reyes. Cabrera made it 2-1 with another double to score Reyes from second. The Blue Jays first run snapped a streak of 22 consecutive scoreless innings against the Rays. Cabreras hits, meanwhile, were his 163rd and 164th of the season. He trails only Houstons Jose Altuve for the major league lead. NOTES: RHP Sergio Santos was recalled from triple-A Buffalo after the game.

And plenty of reasons for the hype - an original six team, the defending Stanley Cup champs, theyve won two of the last four league championships, local boy Jonathan Toews is the Hawks captain, and plenty of players and people with ties to one of the cities or organizations. For only the fourth time this season the Jets opened the scoring, as a Toby Enstrom (2nd) blast from the line found the back of the net. It was only the fourth time this season the Jets scored the games first goal. This game saw momentum swings, the first coming right after the goal. Brandon Bollig was called for tripping and the Jets went on the power play but within 41 seconds, it went from a Jets power play to four-on-four to a Chicago power play, as Dustin Byfuglin and Andrew Ladd were called for penalties 20 seconds apart. It was the third time this season the Jets have been two men short and officially they killed it off, but a Chicago goal came one second after the penalty to Ladd expired. A clean faceoff win by Marcus Kruger led to a blast from Niklas Hjalmarsson for his first of the year to tie the game at one. The next momentum swing was the first six minutes of the second, a swing that decided the game. Andrew Ladd and Brian Little combined for a couple of great chances in the opening seconds but could not beat Corey Crawford. The Jets aggressiveness led to an odd-man rush for Chicago with Brandon Bollig (2nd) ripping a wrist shot short side to give the Hawks the lead. One minute and 47 seconds later, Patrick Sharp got in behind the Jets defence and scored a beauty to make it 3-1. It was a goal the Jets felt really turned the game. At 5:49, a neutral zone turnover lead to a Nick Leddy shot that found the net through all sorts of traffic to make it 4-1 and end the day for Ondrej Pavelec and pretty much put the game away. Patrick Kane had a penalty shot in the third but other than that, the three calls in 41 seconds in the first were the only penalties. On the penalty shot, Kane went to the back hand and appeared to have Al Montoya beaten, only to hit the cross bar. Ben Smith scored soon after to make it a 5-1 final. The Jets spent plenty of time Thursday and Friday at practice working on defensive parts of the game.dddddddddddd. Some was just because it needed work and some was because of playing Chicago. And the Jets followed the plan in the first period. Keep the puck out of the middle of the ice, dont over attack in the Chicago end, and be careful of the transition game. The feeling from several players was that once they fell behind, the game plan was abandoned. It does not get any easier for the Jets, with Detroit in Winnipeg Monday (TSN Jets and TSN 1290) and the Jets back in Chicago Wednesday. This game started a stretch of six games in 11 days. The Jets will play 14 in 28 days in the month of November. "We had a good first period, coming out 1-0 would have been nice but we lost a face-off and they scored," is how Coach Claude Noel started his post-game news conference. "Turning point was the goal that made it 3-1. Took the win out of our sails and took the air out of the building. You could see the frustration. Turnovers hurt us. I am not going to fault Pavelec. There were breakdowns long before it got to him." Andrew Ladd led the Jets with five shots on goal. Matt Halischuk had four, as his line with Mark Scheiffele and Michael Frolik was probably the Jets best line. Jets kept Toews off the score sheet, ending his five game point streak. After scoring 10 goals in the first two games of the season, the Jets have now scored 23 in the last 13 games, not counting shootout goals. Jets record is now 3-5-1 at home and 5-7-2 on the season. Hawks are now 8-1-2 in their last 11. Jets were minus Paul Postma, Mark Stuart, Jacob Trouba and Jim Slater because of injury while Eric Tangradi was a healthy scratch. Ben Chairot made his NHL debut and along with defence partner Adam Pardy had a tough night at minus- 3. Chairot played 10:47 and had three hits. Julian Melchiori was recalled from St. Johns because of all the injuries on defence but did not play, plus the Jets picked up Keaton Ellerby off waivers from Los Angeles. He is expected at practice Sunday. Ellerby is 65, 220 and turns 25 on Tuesday. He was a Florida pick, 10th overall in the 2007, a draft pick out of Kamloops of the WHL, and was traded to the Kings last February. He has not gotten into any games this season and has 160 NHL regular season games under his belt. He appeared in five playoff games with the Kings last spring, averaging 10:43 of ice time. ' ' '
