On July 25, 2009 — Down 9 – 1 coming into the 7th, the Rays tie the game on 9th-inning solo homers by Carlos Pena and Willy Aybar off Blue Jays closer Scott Downs, then add a run in the 12th on a double by Jason Bartlett for a 10 – 9 win. The Jays load the bases with one out in the bottom of the 12th, but Joe Nelson wiggles out of the jam to save J.P. Howell’s victory. It is the biggest comeback win in Rays history.
