The Blue Jays got a big at-bat from center fielder Nick Slate. For the game, Slate was 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 2-run triple. His 1st triple of the season gave Toronto a 2-0 lead.

"Feels good to get the job done," Slate said after the game.
