The left-hander gave up two runs in the fifth but turned Toronto away in the sixth.Drew was good, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. His last two innings seemed to be the most difficult. He found a way to get through it. Bases loaded, no outs against that club at the end of his outing, to get out of that without giving up a run is pretty impressive.Smyly (4-11) allowed two runs and six hits, improving to 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA in five career games at Rogers Centre.Its a really tough lineup over there, Smyly said. Theyve got a lot of hitters that can do damage. Those fifth and sixth innings got a little stressful. You cant give in, youve got to think next batter, keep attacking, keep going at them. Im lucky and Im thankful that I was able to limit the damage.Smyly is 13-4 with a 2.32 ERA in 35 career games against the AL East.
