ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) _ Gerald Williams snapped an eighth-inning tie with a RBI single and scored on Miguel Cairo's triple as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 Friday night.

Tampa Bay won despite committing a team-record five errors _ three by shortstop Kevin Stocker _ which led to two unearned runs.

The Devil Rays beat right-hander Cris Carpenter (3-4) for the first time after losing to him four times in the last two seasons. Rick White (1-2) pitched two innings of relief to get the win, and Albie Lopez worked the ninth for his second save.

The Blue Jays scored an unearned run off Bryan Rekar in the first when second baseman Cairo mishandled a cutoff throw from right field.

They added another in the seventh off White, tying the game at 2, when Stocker was charged with a double error for booting Homer Bush's two-out grounder and then throwing wildly past Cairo at second.

Alex Gonzalez hit a solo homer off Lopez in the ninth.

Carpenter was 4-0 with an 0.34 ERA against Tampa Bay with three complete games and two shutouts the past two seasons, and the Devil Rays had to scrap for everything they got against the right-hander again this time.

Williams singled, moved to second when Cairo was hit by a pitch and stole third before scoring when Greg Vaughn grounded into a double play in the first. Carpenter yielded a single to Vinny Castilla in the second, then retired 11 in a row before Stocker led off the sixth with a single.

Williams moved Stocker up with a slow grounder to first and Cairo followed with the RBI single that enabled Rekar to leave the game with a chance to get his first victory since last July 10.

Toronto wasted several opportunities against Rekar, going 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position in the first six innings. The Tampa Bay starter twice worked out of jams after the Blue Jays got a runner to second base with no outs. ^Notes@: Jose Canseco is 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts lifetime against Carpenter. ... Tampa Bay's Fred McGriff singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, one shy of his career best ... Delgado extended his streak to nine for Toronto, while teammate Darrin Fletcher has hit in eight straight. ... Steve Trachsel has won his last two starts 1-0 for Tampa Bay, the first time a pitcher has done that in the AL since Bert Blyleven in June 1976 with Texas. The last NL pitcher to do it was Pittsburgh's Zane Smith in July 1992. Trachsel beat Pedro Martinez at Fenway Park and Orlando Hernandez at Yankee Stadium. The last pitcher to win consecutive 1-0 decisions on the road was Tim Leary of the Dodgers in 1988.
