Blue Jays Dealt 8-5 Loss by Colorado
The Colorado Rockies withstood an impressive performance by Toronto designated hitter Dennis Desper to defeat the Blue Jays, 8-5, at Colorado Field. Desper was 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The first-place Rockies, at 74-41, now lead their division by 11½ games.

Colorado took a 4-2 lead on Brian Hatcher's 15th home run of the season. The 3-run home run came off Toronto pitcher Jose Amaro in the bottom of the seventh.

"It was our day today," Hatcher told the Colorado News. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
