Blue Jays Upend Mariners, 8-4
Though he had a stellar game, Trot Nixon could not prevent his team, the Seattle Mariners, from losing, 8-4, to the Toronto Blue Jays. Nixon went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Jeff Weaver picked up the win, improving his season record to 7-9. He struck out 3 in 6 innings. Their 66-48 record puts the Blue Jays second in the Virtual Baseball League.

Toronto needed the clutch hitting of Josh Phelps to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 5-3. For the game, Phelps had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," Phelps said in postgame remarks. "Soon enough, the finish line will be in sight."
