Teoscar Hernandez and Danny Jansen homered in the eighth inning and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 Saturday to end a five-game skid.

Hernandez, who missed three weeks with a sore left oblique, hit his second homer of the season. Jansen was activated Saturday after being sidelined for more than a month with a strained left oblique and hit his third homer in only his ninth at-bat this year.

Both homers came off Ryan Thompson (1-2), who also gave up singles to Santiago Espinal and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the decisive four-run inning.

Tim Mayza (2-0) got the win in relief after striking out two of his three batters in the seventh.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled in the first inning off Rays starter Ryan Yarbrough, extending his hitting streak to 11 games, and scored on Espinal’s sacrifice fly.

Yandy Diaz led off the Rays first with an opposite-field home run off left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu, his third of the season.
