St. Petersburg, FL (AP) -- May 23, 2012 --

B.J. Upton hit an RBI double in the 11th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 on Wednesday.

Rich Thompson was hit by a pitch from Darren Oliver (0-2) to start the 11th and scored on Upton's one-out drive into the left-field corner.

Jake McGee (1-1) struck out two during a perfect 11th.

Tampa Bay took 2 of 3 from the Blue Jays, and have won 15 consecutive home series against Toronto.

The Rays nearly won it in the ninth on Drew Sutton's two-out infield single, but second baseman Omar Vizquel threw out Carlos Pena, who tried to score from second on the play.
