Velasco Excels in 13-5 Toronto Win
No one was more impactful than Ruben Velasco in the 13-5 Toronto win over Boston. Velasco, who finished 2nd in the AL in slugging percentage with .631 in 2029, went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while adding 6 RBI and scoring once. Larry Legros earned the save, his 1st in 1 tries. With the win, Toronto pushed its record to 72-38.

With Toronto leading 9-5 in the top of the eighth, Velasco came up to bat against Boston pitcher Fred Huber. Velasco hit a fastball to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 21st home run of the season put the Blue Jays on top, 13-5.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Toronto manager Nersha Bainco.
