Rays' Garza Leads Shutout Of Toronto

St. Petersburg, FL (AHN) -- Carlos Pena's home run was all Matt Garza and two relievers needed to lead Tampa Bay to a 1-0 victory Wednesday night over Toronto.

Garza (11-7) allowed six hits and three walks with five strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings for the AL East-leading Rays. Grant Balfour got the final out in the eighth before Dan Wheeler pitched the ninth for his ninth save in 11 chances.

Pena provided the scoring with a solo homer in the fourth, his 27th of the season and sixth over his past 13 games.

Blue Jays rookie David Purcey gave up five hits and struck out a career-high 11 in eight innings for his first career complete game. Purcey struck out 10 and allowed just three hits -- two by Pena, including the homer -- in the first five innings. His previous high for strikeouts was eight.

The Blue Jays got one hit, including a third-inning double by Joe Inglett, in each of the first four innings, but failed to score.
