ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Kevin Pillar scored the tiebreaking run on Alex Colome’s wild pitch in the ninth inning, and the Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 Sunday to stop a three-game losing skid. Blue Jays shortstop Aledmys Diaz was carted off the field in the fifth inning after spraining his left ankle. Ryan Tepera failed to protect an eighth-inning lead, allowing a home run to Carlos Gomez leading off the inning. Gomez was 3 for 4 with his fifth home run this season, raising his average from .181 to .200. Roberto Osuna allowed Daniel Robinson’s one-out single in the ninth, then got Mallex Smith to ground into a forceout and retired Gomez on a groundout.
