Charlie Morton started for the Rays, allowing a run and four hits over 4 2/3 innings. Reliever Adam Kolarek earned the win. Toronto's Thomas Pannone pitched three perfect innings in relief, including an immaculate fifth where he struck out all three batters on nine pitches.Tampa tied it 1-1 after Lourdes Gurriel Jr. bounced a throw to first on the would-be final out of the third. Stroman walked the next batter and Brandon Lowe followed with an RBI single.
Galvis cut into the deficit in the seventh, launching a Ryne Stanek pitch over the centre-field wall.
