Rasmus Lifts Blue Jays Past Marlins

Miami, FL - Edwin Encarnacion hit a tiebreaking homer in the top of the ninth and Colby Rasmus had a grand slam later in the innings, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday.

Encarnacion led off the ninth with his 21st home run off Steve Cishek (4-1) to break a 1-all tie.

After Jeff Mathis laid down a bunt that Cishek mishandled allowing Reed Johnson to score for a 3-1 lead, Rasmus connected on his third career grand slam off Edward Mujica.

The Blue Jays scored six times and sent 11 batters to the plate while breaking it open in the ninth.

Darren Oliver (2-2) pitched a scoreless eighth for the Blue Jays, who have won six of eight.

Miami has lost six straight and 15 of 17 overall.
