Blue Jays Down Cubs, 6-4
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Chicago Cubs, 6-4. Right Fielder Tom Monroe deserved a large share of the credit. Monroe was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 times for the Blue Jays. Reliever Victor Urueta picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. Sean Price, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2105 draft, took the loss. Toronto is in first place in the American League East Division with a record of 23-15.

In the top of the fifth, Vic Rivera delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the Toronto designated hitter hit a 2-run single, putting the Blue Jays in front, 6-4.

"When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Monroe. "I think we're going to keep proving that."
