ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays appear to be playing some of their best baseball of the season, and it’s certainly coming at an ideal time. As they continue to try to lock up a postseason berth for the first time since 2013, Tampa Bay just keeps finding ways to win.

On Saturday, it took a comeback effort as the Rays scored one run in the seventh and two runs in the eighth inning to beat the Blue Jays, 5-3, at Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay has won four consecutive games and nine of its last 10 contests to reach a season-high 26 games over .500 for the first time since finishing the 2010 season at 96-66.

With the win, the Rays held steady as the top American League Wild Card team and are now 2 1/2 games ahead of the Indians, who lost to the Twins on Saturday. The Rays are one game ahead of the A’s, who defeated the Tigers and hold the second spot.

Let’s take a look at three key moments that propelled Tampa Bay to its fourth consecutive win:

d’Arnaud comes up clutch again
Since being acquired from the Dodgers, Travis d’Arnaud has found a way to always come up clutch when the Rays need him most. That was the case again on Saturday as the catcher came up with a big pinch-hit sacrifice fly that put Tampa Bay ahead 4-3 in the eighth inning.

“I had a lot of holes there. Second and third, even if I hit a little dribbler to the right side, [Michael Brosseau] was on third and it would have given him a good chance to score,” d’Arnaud said. “Fortunately, I was able to get it elevated and get a sac fly.”

d’Arnaud has 11 career go-ahead RBIs in the eighth inning or later, and five of those have come for the Rays this season.

“He’s one clutch player,” said Rays manager Kevin Cash.

Wong and Robertson provide spark
September callups continue to make an impact for the Rays and it was Daniel Robertson and Kean Wong who provided the spark on Saturday.

After the Blue Jays scored three runs in the sixth inning off Charlie Morton, who threw his 16th quality start of the season, the Rays trailed 3-2 and had been struggling offensively against Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Kay in his Major League debut.

In the seventh inning, with right-hander Jason Adam on the mound, Cash went to the left-hander Wong to pinch-hit and lead off the inning. Wong didn’t disappoint, lifting a single in front of the right fielder for his first Major League hit. The 24-year old had his father, Kaha, in attendance and said the plan is to place the ball next to his mother, who passed away in 2013.

“A weight came off my shoulders,” Wong said. “I always wanted to get that first hit. I wanted to get it at home and I got it and helped the team. That’s all I ever asked for.”

With Wong at first base, it was Robertson’s turn to play hero. Robertson, who hit .202 in 59 games before being demoted to Triple-A Durham, laced an RBI double that allowed the speedy Wong to race around the bases and even the score. After the double, the Rays’ Win Expectancy jumped up from 43.1 percent to 69.7, according to FanGraphs.

Robertson, who is sporting a more open batting stance, later added an insurance run in the eighth inning, lining an RBI single to right field to put the Rays ahead 5-3.

“There’s going to be a different guy every night,” Robertson said. “September, with this roster we have, you’ve just got to be ready when called upon. That is a great feeling. That’s what it’s all about. Failing and then doing it is pretty cool too.”

Drake shuts the door
With closer Emilio Pagan not available after a heavy workload out of the bullpen, Cash turned to Oliver Drake in the ninth inning and the right-hander recorded his second save of the season by striking out the side.

“Drake handles lefties really, really well with the split-finger action,” Cash said. “Good for Oliver to get back. He was frustrated the last couple of outings, left one or two pitches. He’s been outstanding for us, though. We couldn’t ask for much more up to this point from him and to have the confidence to throw him out there against the top of their lineup, he did a really, really good job.”
