Rays 7, Blue Jays 1: Matt Moore threw six sensational innings for his third win in a row as host Tampa Bay completed a three-game sweep of Toronto.

Moore (9-7) limited the scuffling Toronto lineup to a run on two hits, walking two and striking out six. The rookie left-hander is now 4-1 with a minuscule 1.47 ERA in five starts since the All-Star break.

He had plenty of help offensively as the Rays improved to 32-10 in their last 42 home games against the Blue Jays. Jose Lobaton singled twice and drove in three runs while Evan Longoria went 3-for-5 with two RBIs in his third game back from a partially torn left hamstring.

The Rays victimized Jays starter Henderson Alvarez (7-9), who lasted just 4 2/3 innings. The second-year right-hander was tagged for six runs - four earned - on 11 hits while walking three and whiffing two.

Tampa Bay spotted Toronto a 1-0 lead before jumping ahead for good with three runs in the bottom of the second inning. Lobaton lofted a single to shallow left field to bring home a pair of runs, and B.J. Upton extended the lead on a run-scoring groundout.

The Rays padded the advantage with runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings, each coming around to score on singles. Lobaton's second hit and third RBI of the game ended Alvarez's afternoon, and Longoria capped the rout with a run-scoring double in the eighth.
