punctuation - Can you end a multi-sentence quotation with a comma?

This is correct:



"Rats," he said.



But this looks wrong to me:




"I left the oven on. Rats," he said.



I can't find any rules about whether you can end a quotation with a comma when there are periods inside the quotation. How would you write the second sentence?
