Bases-loaded walk caps Jays' 6-run ninth - baltimoresun.com

Bases-loaded walk caps Jays' 6-run ninth - baltimoresun.com: "Matt Stairs scored the winning run after a bases-loaded walk and the Toronto Blue Jays scored six runs in the ninth inning to beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 12-11, last night.

With Tampa Bay leading 11-6, Chad Orvella walked Aaron Hill to lead off the ninth, then gave up consecutive RBI doubles to Adam Lind and Jason Phillips to make it 11-8. Shawn Camp came in and promptly walked Howie Clark. After getting Alex Rios to ground into a fielder's choice, Vernon Wells laced a two-run double to left that scored Phillips and Rios and made it 11-10.

Stairs tied the game with an RBI double off Casey Fossum (3-6) before Tim Corcoran intentionally walked Frank Thomas. After a passed ball allowed both runners to advance, Troy Glaus was intentionally walked. That brought up Hill for the second time in the inning, and he walked on five pitches, forcing Stairs home."
