TORONTO (AP) - Dioner Navarro hit a grand slam in the 13th inning after Carl Crawford drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 Thursday night.

Facing Toronto's seventh pitcher, Shawn Camp (0-1), Jason Bartlett singled off the glove of second baseman Aaron Hill to begin the inning and went to third on Akinori Iwamura 's base hit. Carl Crawford lifted a sacrifice fly to right and Bartlett artfully skirted catcher Gregg Zaun , who had ranged up the line to catch Alex Rios ' throw.

B.J. Upton singled and Carlos Pena was intentionally walked before Navarro put the game out of reach with his second career grand slam.

J.P. Howell (1-0) worked three scoreless innings for the win as Tampa Bay beat Toronto for the sixth time in seven games.

The Blue Jays trailed 3-0 after eight but rallied in the ninth against veteran closer Troy Percival .

Scott Rolen led off with a single and Matt Stairs struck out before Vernon Wells hit a two-run homer, his fifth. The runs were the first Percival had allowed after starting his season with 11 scoreless innings.

Lyle Overbay doubled and Hill's single scored pinch-runner Joe Inglett with the tying run, but Percival got Zaun to flyout and caught Marco Scutaro looking to send the game to extra innings.

Rays right-hander Edwin Jackson matched a season-high by working eight shutout innings, only to see his effort spoiled in the ninth. Jackson scattered six hits, walked one and struck out three, and has not won since beating Seattle on April 10.

Pena hit a solo homer, his eighth, and former Blue Jays prospect Gabe Gross added a two-run shot for the Rays.

Pena had a closed-door meeting with manager Joe Maddon after striking out three times Wednesday, giving him eight strikeouts in nine at bats. He started 0-for-2 Thursday before blasting an opposite field shot to begin the seventh.

Toronto starter Jesse Litsch allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings. He walked none and struck out two.

Litsch set down the first 14 batters he faced before Navarro hit a two-out single to left in the fifth. Gross followed with a two-run homer to right, his second.

The Blue Jays scored six runs in Wednesday's victory, ending a 20-game stretch in which they had failed to score more than five runs. But Toronto's offense was back in a funk until the ninth-inning rally.

Cleanup hitter Stairs finished 0-for-6 with two strikeouts.
