"B.J. Upton's two-run single in the bottom of the seventh drove in the winning runs, and the Rays beat the Blue Jays 5-3 on Wednesday night to finish the spring with a winning record for the fourth time in their history.

Playing a tune-up game on their new AstroTurf GameDay grass at Tropicana Field, the Rays got a solo home runs from Evan Longoria and Eliot Johnson had a spring-high six stolen bases - including a double-steal by Reid Brignac and Johnson before Upton's winning hit.

In the third inning, Upton walked, stole second base, went to third on a groundout and stole home on a double steal. He was picked off and thrown out trying to steal second in the fifth inning.

Upton finished the spring with a .293 batting average and two thefts of home plate among his five stolen bases.

"The spring went pretty well," Upton said. "Exactly the way I wanted it to go. Some good (at-bats). I think I'm right where I want to be. I'm ready to start it up on Friday."

The Rays originally said the exhibition at Tropicana Field wouldn't count toward their Grapefruit League record or official spring stats but stated that was incorrect before the game.

Since it did count, the win gave Tampa Bay a final spring record of 15-14-2, which includes a 14-7-1 mark since March 7. The last two times they posted a winning record in the spring (2008, 2010), the Rays went to the postseason."
