Blue Jays Topple Cardinals, 8-3, as Slaff Shines
The Toronto Blue Jays downed the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-3, at Busch Stadium. The Blue Jays were led by John Slaff. He went 3-4 with 2 home runs, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Victor Urueta got credit for the win, improving to 7-1. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. The Blue Jays sit in first place in the American League East Division with a record of 54-31.

Toronto relied on the hitting of Ramon Anguiano to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 4-1. For the game, Anguiano had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Toronto skipper Dan Silva. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
