Polanco Socks 2 Homers in 7-2 Win
Miguel Polanco was a major contributor to the 7-2 Toronto win over Tampa Bay. The Blue Jays left fielder hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Billy Demeter, who went 6.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 3 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 2-3. The Blue Jays go to 22-17, putting them second in the American League East Division.

Polanco had a key at-bat for Toronto in the top of the second. With a runner on 2nd, he hit a run-scoring double. It was his 9th double of the season and gave Toronto an early 1-0 lead.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Polanco told the Toronto Bulletin.
