TORONTO (Ticker) -- Carlos Delgado gave the Tampa Bay Devil Rays quite a going-away present.

Delgado become the 15th player in major league history to record a four-homer game as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for three runs in the eighth inning and posted a 10-8 victory in their final meeting of the season with the Devil Rays .

After giving Toronto the lead with his 300th career homer, a three-run blast in the first inning, Delgado added solo shots in the fourth and sixth. With the Blue Jays trailing by a run in the eighth, Delgado greeted Tampa Bay closer Lance Carter with a towering shot over the luxury boxes in center field that knotted the game, 8-8.

"I was just trying to get on," Delgado said. "(Carter's) got a pretty good changeup. He's a crafty guy. ... I was pretty fired up after it went out. I was on cloud nine."

Eric Hinske followed with a triple and Bobby Kielty lifted a sacrifice fly to left, giving Toronto the lead. Mike Bordick added insurance with a solo homer.

"That was more impressive than anything I've ever seen," Kielty said of Delgado's performance. "That was ridiculous."

Delgado, who matched a career high with six RBI, became just the fifth American League player to hit four homers in a game but second in as many years. Seattle's Mike Cameron also accomplished the feat On May 2, 2002. Delgado's six RBI moved him ahead of Colorado's Preston Wilson for the major league lead with 141.

"It's definitely the best day of my baseball career," said Delgado, who entered the game with four career three-homer games. "I can't believe it's happened. I got lucky and I got some pitches to hit. I wish I could do it more often."

"That's the most amazing thing I've seen on a baseball field," Toronto left fielder Reed Johnson said. "After he hit his third home run, I was thinking, 'That would be nice if he hit is fourth.' But in the back of my mind, I was thinking, 'How impossible is that?'"

Delgado's historic blast made a winner of Trever Miller (2-2), who walked a batter in 1 1/3 innings.

Carter (7-5) blew his seventh save opportunity of the season, allowing three runs and three hits in one inning.

Tampa Bay got on the scoreboard in the second, when Travis Lee scored on Marlon Anderson 's groundout. But the Blue Jays upped their lead to 5-1 in the fourth as Delgado led off with a homer and Orlando Hudson added a two-out RBI double.

Julio Lugo extended his streak to four games with a home run, belting a leadoff shot in the sixth. The homer ignited a five-run inning, as Anderson ripped a three-run triple and scored on Toby Hall 's single, giving the Devil Rays a 6-5 lead.

Delgado greeted Joe Kennedy in the sixth with his third homer of the game, knotting the game.

"It was fun to watch," Kennedy said. "I tried to come in on him. I threw a curveball that was at least a foot off the plate, and he hit it out."

"It's something everyone on this team will remember," Blue Jays center fielder Vernon Wells said. "When he's going good, there's no telling what he can accomplish. He put it all together tonight. Watching him on a daily basis, you understand how good he really is."

But Aubrey Huff 's solo blast in the seventh regained the lead for Tampa Bay. Huff's homer was his 34th, tying the team record for most in a season set by Jose Canseco in 1999.

Despite his accomplishment, all Huff could talk about was Delgado.

"You can't talk MVP without talking about Carlos," he said. "That ranks right up there with one of the best games in major league history. There were no cheapies, either. He put a charge in all of them."

Johnson's RBI single in the bottom of the seventh evened the contest at 7-7, but rookie Rocco Baldelli plated a run with a base hit in the eighth, putting the Devil Rays ahead.
