Jeremy Hellickson allowed three hits in seven shutout innings and John Jaso hit a two-run homer, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.

The host Rays (28-24) took two of three in the series and blanked the Indians (31-19) twice. Cleveland has lost four of five.

Hellickson (6-3) struck out six and walked two. The righthander has won five of his last six starts.

Justin Masterson (5-3) allowed seven runs and eight hits in five innings. He walked five and didn't strike out a batter. The righthander, who started the season 5-0, hasn't won since April 26 and is 1-6 in his career against Tampa Bay.

The Rays scored twice in the third on Johnny Damon's RBI single and a passed ball by catcher Lou Marson. Jaso homered in the fourth after a walk to B.J. Upton.

Tampa Bay added three in the fifth on Ben Zobrist's RBI groundout, Sam Fuld's run-scoring single and a throwing error by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera.

Evan Longoria was 2-for-3 and has four hits since being moved into the leadoff spot Saturday. Rays first baseman Casey Kotchman left the game in the sixth with an ankle injury.
