Jays clip Rays 3-2
Marco Scutaro scored the winning run on a wild pitch after Rays closer J.P. Howell loaded the bases with three walks, and the Toronto Blue Jays rallies to beat Tampa Bay Wednesday night in a game in which two umpires were injured.
Rod Barajas hit a tying pinch-hit homer off Howell (6-4) with one out in the ninth. After the three walks and with rookie Randy Ruiz up, Howell uncorked a wild pitch that bounced high and away from catcher Gregg Zaun, allowing Scutaro to score without a play.
It was a tough night to be a home plate umpire. Crew chief Jerry Crawford took a foul ball off his face mask and left after two innings while his replacement, Tom Hallion, was struck in the chest by a pitch from Rays lefty Scott Kazmir in the sixth.
