TORONTO — Carl Crawford and Pat Burrell homered to ruin Roy Halladay’s return and the Tampa Bay Rays won their sixth straight game, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Monday night.

Halladay (10-2) came in having won his past seven decisions, the longest streak in the majors, but lost for the first time since April 21, against Texas. The Blue Jays have lost three straight.
Starting for the first time since June 12 after a sore groin landed him on the disabled list, Halladay allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out seven.
Jeff Niemann (7-4) won his third straight decision, allowing one run and four hits.
Randy Choate got the last out for his fourth save in as many chances.
