TORONTO (AP) Drew Smyly pitched six innings to win his second straight decision, Logan Forsythe hit a solo homer and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-2 on Tuesday night.

Evan Longoria reached base four times, scored twice and drove in three runs for the Rays. Forsythe had three hits, two RBIs and scored twice as the Rays roughed up Toronto's bullpen, scoring six runs off two relievers.

Tampa Bay finished with 15 hits, three shy of its season high. The Rays had 18 hits in a 13-7 victory over Boston on June 27.

Smyly (4-11) allowed two runs and six hits, improving to 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA in five career games at Rogers Centre.

The left-hander is 13-4 with a 2.32 ERA in 35 career games against the AL East. The Rays are 14-6 in Smyly's 20 starts against division foes since he joined the team in 2014.
