Blue Jays Overwhelm Devil Rays, 18-6
No one was more impactful than Hideki Matsui in the 18-6 Toronto win over Tampa Bay. Matsui went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 7. The Devil Rays, now 6-14 this season, have struggled to play .500 ball.

Catcher Carlos Delgado made an impact for Toronto, when he swatted a 2-run home run off Gil Meche in the bottom of the first. For the contest, Delgado went 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 4 and driving in 2.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Matsui told the Toronto Citizen.
