ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Greg Zaun's pinch-hit grand slam in the eighth inning Sunday carried the Tampa Bay Rays past the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2.

Carl Crawford doubled in the other run for Tampa Bay, which ended a four-game losing streak.

Dan Wheeler (4-3) pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief to record the win.

Marco Scutaro had three hits including a solo homer and Vernon Wells singled in a run in the Jays' fourth loss in five games.

Brandon League (1-5), victim of the Rays' eighth-inning rally, was the loser.
