Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Roy Halladay became the season's first 15-game winner Tuesday while pitching the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
With the score tied 2-2 in the eighth, Lyle Overbay led off the inning by lining a single to center and moving on to second when Rocco Baldelli mishandled the base hit. Alex Rios singled to put the Blue Jays in front. Two batters later, Rios came around to score on John McDonald's RBI single.
B.J. Ryan then hurled a scoreless ninth to pick up his 27th save.
Halladay (15-3) threw seven innings and allowed just two runs on six hits for the Blue Jays, who have won five of their past six games.
Greg Norton had a two-run home run for the Devil Rays, who lost their seventh straight.
