ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A matchup of Cy Young Award winners ended in a walk-off walk -- and another loss for the Blue Jays. Brad Lincoln walked Luke Scott with two outs in the 10th inning Thursday night to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 5-4 victory over Toronto. Scott fell behind 0-2 in the count before taking four straight balls from Lincoln. The Rays loaded the bases on Evan Longorias double off Aaron Loup (1-3) and two walks. "You shouldnt lose games like that," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "Its not always the easiest thing to do, but you need to throw strikes. If you get beat, let them hit their way to victory." The game featured a rare matchup of reigning Cy Young Award winners, but neither Rays lefty David Price nor Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey were involved in the decision. It was only the third time since the Cy Young has been awarded in both leagues that reigning winners have faced each other the following season. Dickey allowed three runs and five hits, walked five and struck out five in six innings. He left with a 4-3 lead that Steve Delabar relinquished by giving up a solo homer to the first batter he faced, ex-Blue Jay Yunel Escobar, leading off the seventh. The five walks were a season high for Dickey, who won the National League Cy Young Award with the New York Mets last season. "Im kind of falling into the pattern of a traditional knuckleballer where theres less than a hit per inning but you have a lot of walks and some strikeouts," said Dickey, who has not won in his last four starts. "Im much more efficient usually and Ive got to try to figure out a way to repeat my delivery in a way that will help me throw more strikes." Price worked eight innings, yielding four runs (two earned) and seven hits. Scott singled with the potential go-ahead run on second base and two outs in the bottom of the eighth, but Longoria was thrown out trying to score. Jose Bautista drove in two runs with a double and a sacrifice fly for Toronto. It was his throw to the plate from right field that prevented the Rays from taking the lead in the eighth. Kyle Farnsworth (2-0) pitched one inning for the win. Dickey won a career-best 20 games last season and was traded to Toronto in December. Price edged Justin Verlander in balloting for the 2012 AL Cy Young Award after becoming Tampa Bays first 20-game winner. Neither pitcher has been nearly as effective this year. They entered Thursday night with a combined three victories, and the Rays had lost six of the previous seven games that Price started. "Thats probably the way its supposed to end up when you get two Cy Young winners and you get no-decisions," Gibbons said. "I guess its the baseball gods or something." After winning the first two games of the four-game series, the Blue Jays had to settle for a 2-2 split. They missed a chance to win their first series at Tropicana Field since April 6-8, 2007, and remained four games behind the fourth-place Rays in the AL East. "Its just sad," said Dickey, "because you pour your heart and soul into the game and it doesnt always end up in a win. Were not maybe playing the smartest baseball, but were playing hard. Weve got to tighten up some things probably. I need to go one more inning to save our bullpen ... so thats on me. But well figure it out." NOTES: The Blue Jays optioned LHP Ricky Romero to Triple-A Buffalo, designated RHP Edgar Gonzalez for assignment and purchased the contracts of RHP Mickey Storey and RHP Ramon Ortiz from Buffalo. ... LHP J.A. Happ will not throw for a week because of the sprained knee he suffered after getting hit in the head by a line drive Tuesday night. Happ, whose skull was fractured, will probably pitch a game or two in a rehab assignment before returning to the Toronto rotation. ... Blue Jays RHP Brandon Morrow, originally scheduled to pitch Friday at Boston, had his turn pushed back to Sunday after experiencing back spasms in a bullpen session.

Andy Murray walked away with the title, but all the players contributed.Here, we look back on the 10 best points of the tournament… Lessons from the O2 We pick out the key conclusions from an action-packed week 10. Milos Raonic (v Novak Djokovic)Djokovic somehow returned a serve, a forehand and two smashes in this one brilliant exhibition of defensive tennis, but he eventually succumbed when Raonic beat him with a third smash.9. Kei Nishikori (v Andy Murray)Nishikori looked poised to save a set point when he lined up a routine smash, but he directed it straight at Murray, who managed to turn his return into a lob. Nishikori had to back-pedal to reach it, and this time unleashed an un-returnable smash. Kei Nishikori played some epic points against Andy Murray 8. Novak Djokovic (v Milos Raonic)Djokovic and Raonic exchanged 19 powerful strokes from the baseline in a key point of their second-set tie break and it seemed only an error would decide matters. Djokovic then charged to the net and looked to have been beaten by a low Raonic passing shot, but the Serb scooped out a deft half-volley at his feet that his opponent was unable to return.7. Gael Monfils (v Dominic Thiem)Monfils had it all to do when he was dragged to the net by a Thiem forehand that clipped the cord, and his situation worsened when the Austrian then sent him scampering back his baseline with a lob. However, Monfils caught up with the ball and hit a forehand winner on the swivel. Sky Sports Black Friday sale Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price! 6.

Novak Djokovic shared some memorable points with Milos Raonic 4. Andy Murray (v Kei Nishikori)Murray appeared to be on the verge of losing the opening set when he under-hit an attempted lob and Nishikori lined up what looked guaranteed to be a volleyed winner. Nishikori made perfect contact and found what should have been a winning angle, but Murray anticipated the direction to a tee and turned a defensive backhand into a winner.3. Gael Monfils (v Milos Raonic)Monfils is arguably the most entertaining player on tour and proved why with a no-look backhand drop shot that a scrambling Raonic could only return into the net. Murray was pushed to the limit by Nishikori 2. David Goffin (v Novak Djokovic)Djokovic was dragging a beleaguered Goffin all over the court and it looked like he had won the point when he landed what looked like a perfect drop shot at the net. However, Goffin hit the afterburners and not only reached the ball, but also managed to lob Djokovic and land it bang on the line.1. Andy Murray (v Milos Raonic)Murray looked like he would be caught out when he rushed the net 10 shots into a rally and found a Raonic backhand heading straight for his feet, but the world No 1 showed deft footwork and an even defter touch to half-volley the ball narrowly over the net and just out of reach of his opponent.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.
