ARLINGTON, Texas, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Scott Rolen and Rod Barajas both stroked two-run sixth inning doubles Saturday to lead the Toronto Blue Jays past Texas 6-4.

The four-run sixth helped Toronto erase a 3-2 deficit.

Alex Rios and Lyle Overbay drove in one run each, while Rios and Brad Wilkerson had two hits apiece for the Blue Jays, who ended a three-game losing streak.

Winner A.J. Burnett (13-9) allowed four earned runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Closer B.J. Ryan earned his 21st save with a scoreless ninth.

Frank Catalanotto hit a two-run double in the fifth for Texas. Gerald Laird had two hits and one RBI and a run scored on Barajas' second-inning throwing error.

Three players had two hits in the Rangers' second loss in their last three games.

The losing pitcher was starter Scott Feldman (4-4).
