The Toronto Blue Jays soundly defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 15-3, at Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium. Marcos Iniguez, who finished 3rd in the AL in slugging percentage with .577 last year, let his bat do the talking. He slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 8 runs and scored twice for Toronto. The win was credited to Larry Coyle in relief. His record improves to 9-4. Brian Rains took the loss. Victor Urueta finished the game for Toronto and earned his 7th save.

Iniguez made an early impact for Toronto when he stroked his 22nd home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which came in the top of the second, put the Blue Jays on top, 7-0.

"Sometimes the runs come in bunches," said Iniguez after the game.

Toronto currently is in first place in the American League East Division at 79-44.
