The Toronto Blue Jays got a strong performance from pitcher Robert Stephenson, who stymied the Tampa Bay offense en route to a win, 3-2, at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays have an impressive 96-57 record.

The Blue Jays procured the win, in large part because of shortstop Jake Hager. In the bottom of the 11th, he produced the game-winning run-scoring single.

In postgame comments, Stephenson said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
