ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Toronto Blue Jays are on the verge of their best road trip to Tampa Bay in years. Mark Buehrle allowed four hits over 8 2-3 innings, Jose Bautista homered twice, and the Blue Jays beat the Rays 3-0 on Wednesday night. With a victory in Thursday nights game, Toronto would stop a streak of 20 consecutive winless road series against the Rays. The Blue Jays, who have won two of three against the Rays to start a four-game set, havent won a series at Tampa Bay since April 2007. Of the 20 series, the Blue Jays have lost 19 and split one. "Obviously, it hasnt been a good place for this team," Buehrle said. "Hopefully come out and take this series tomorrow and get off to an even better start." Buehrle (1-0) struck out 11 and walked one. "It was a tremendous game for him," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "A great effort, I dont know how else to describe it." It was just the second career double-digit strikeout games in 430 major league starts for Buehrle. The other was a 12-strikeout game on April 16, 2005, against Seattle, while with the Chicago White Sox. "That ball was running, ducking, and darting," Gibbons said. Sergio Santos entered after Ben Zobrist had a two-out single off Buehrle in the ninth and walked Evan Longoria. Brett Cecil then struck out pinch-hitter Matt Joyce for his first save. Bautista put the Blue Jays ahead 1-0 on his first homer of the season, a solo shot off Matt Moore (0-1) in the fourth. Dioner Navarro made it 2-0 later in the inning with an RBI single. Toronto went up 3-0 on Bautistas second homer, a towering solo drive to left off Josh Lueke during the seventh. It was the sluggers 22nd multihomer game. "For the most part their offence was centred around one guy. He can do that kind of stuff," Rays manager Joe Maddon. Moore gave up two runs, six hits and three walks in 5 2-3 innings. The Blue Jays had runners on first and second with two outs in the first when Longoria got a forceout at third after leaping to catch Navarros grounder that went airborne after hitting the base. Toronto third baseman Brett Lawrie saved a run in the fifth when he made a leaping catch on Sean Rodriguezs liner with a runner on a second. "Our defence was amazing," Buehrle said. "If they dont make some of those plays, Im not out there probably past the sixth inning. It was a perfect storm. Everything worked out." Notes: Tampa Bay RHP Chris Archer and Blue Jays RHP Brandon Morrow are Thursdays scheduled starters. Archer and the Rays agreed to a $25.5 million, six-year deal on Wednesday. The contract includes club options for 2020 and 2021 that could raise the value to $43.75 million. ...

But for his owners, hes even more valuable because he was the sixth quarterback drafted on average in Yahoo leagues, behind Atlantas Matt Ryan and Detroits Matthew Stafford.And Stafford is at the top of a less desirable list as the quarterback most often on fantasy teams that missed the playoffs — 9 per cent of teams out of the title hunt, according to CBS Sports.Here are some other players who proved themselves the most valuable breakout stars or biggest fantasy busts this season:___ANTONIO BROWN VS. BRANDON MARSHALLIn 12-team Yahoo leagues, it took an early second-round pick to land Marshall, the Chicago wide receiver known for getting a lot of looks from quarterback Jay Cutler. Brown was drafted about one round later, in the early third.But Brown is on 14 per cent of playoff teams while Marshall is on 10 per cent of teams that didnt make the fantasy playoffs in CBS leagues.Easy to see why: Brown has been the top wide receiver in the game with nearly double Marshalls yards while Marshall has been a middling second wide receiver, with fewer fantasy points than New Englaands Brandon LaFell and Cincinnatis Mohamed Sanu.dddddddddddd.___LEVEON BELL VS. LESEAN McCOYPittsburghs Bell is on 13 per cent of playoff fantasy teams while McCoy of the Eagles is on 9 per cent of teams not in the playoffs, CBS said.Before the season, McCoy was in the debate as the No. 1 overall draft pick as Yahoo, ESPN and CBS differed between him, Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles.Bell, however, was the 13th running back off the draft board in Yahoo leagues. He wont be next year.___DeMARCO MURRAY VS. FRANK GOREIts hard to overstate how valuable Murray has been in fantasy leagues this year as the top running back. The Dallas runner averaged 15.8 fantasy points per game compared with 14.5 points per game for Marshawn Lynch, the No. 2 running back. Hes on 13 per cent of playoff fantasy teams, according to CBS.Gore was much more of a value pick as a sixth-round pick in 12-team leagues, yet hes on 9 per cent of teams that missed the playoffs.___EMMANUEL SANDERS VS. CALVIN JOHNSONDetroit wideout Calvin Johnson really put fantasy players in a bind this year: You dont just quit on a player as talented as him, even though he was out several weeks with an injury. Still, at some point you need players to come through, making it unsurprising that hes on 9 per cent of fantasy teams that didnt make the playoffs in CBS leagues.Denvers Sanders is on 12 per cent of fantasy teams that made the playoffs on CBS, and tied with Philadelphias Jeremy Maclin as the fourth-best fantasy wide receiver this year.___OTHER PLAYOFF ALL-STARS: Demaryius Thomas, Matt Forte, Maclin, Arian Foster.OTHER PLAYOFF DUDS: A.J. Green, DeSean Jackson, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson.___Oskar Garcia can be reached on Twitter at http://twitter.com/oskargarcia ' ' '
