Blue Jays Trounce Rays, 10-1
Toronto Blue Jays starter Alex Bartolo was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Tampa Bay Rays, 10-1. The winner was Bartolo. He threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Matt Manzolillo. Jay Courtney earned his 25th save, after closing out the game.

The Rays had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Blue Jays going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the slugging third baseman Dave Steinhart came to the plate. Steinhart hit a solo home run on a 1-0 slider from Tampa Bay hurler Matt Manzolillo. It was Steinhart's 31st home run of the year.

"I'm happy we won," said Bartolo. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done."

Toronto has a record of 88-68, placing them first in the American League East Division.
