Adam Lind added three hits and one RBI for the Blue Jays, who have won the last two games of this four-game series after dropping the opener on Travis Hafner's walkoff grand slam on Thursday.
Jon Rauch (3-3) suffered his third blown save of the year when Travis Buck ripped an RBI double to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth, but was bailed out by Bautista. Shawn Camp retired the side in order in the bottom of the 10th for his first save of 2011.
