ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Jose Reyes hit a three-run homer, R.A. Dickey gave up two hits in seven innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 Tuesday night.

Reyes' ninth home run broke a 2-all in the fourth inning and sent the Blue Jays to their third win in a row.

Danny Valencia also homered off Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson (1-3). Pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro added a two-run shot off Cesar Ramos in the eighth.

Jose Bautista's streak of homering in five straight games ended, but he had two singles and an RBI for Toronto.

Dickey (11-12) gave up two runs, struck out six and walked three.

Dickey pitched at least six innings for the 13th time in 14 starts. Aaron Sanchez and Todd Redmond each pitched an inning of hitless relief.

The Rays got both of their hits and runs in the second. Yunel Escobar scored the second run on Kevin Kiermaier's sacrifice fly caught by Reyes, the shortstop, in short left field.

Reyes, who singled and scored in the third, had his 13th multiple-hit game in his last 29 games.

Hellickson gave up five runs on eight hits in 3 1-3 innings, the shortest of his nine starts since coming back from January elbow surgery.

A win on Wednesday or Thursday night would give the Blue Jays their first series victory at Tropicana Field since April 6-8, 2007.
