St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Evan Longoria belted a three-run homer, one of four long balls hit by the Tampa Bay Rays in an 11-5 thrashing of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Desmond Jennings went 3-for-3 with a solo homer and scored four times. Jose Molina added three hits, including a solo homer. B.J. Upton also went deep, as the Rays won their fourth in a row, although time is dwindling for their playoff chances.

With 10 contests remaining, Tampa Bay is 3 1/2 games behind Oakland for the second wild card spot.

Adam Lind knocked in three runs for the Blue Jays, losers of five straight contests.

The Rays have scored 43 times during their winning streak, the best run production over a four-game span in club history.
