Fans watched the Toronto Blue Jays and the Montreal Expos fight to the finish.

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Montreal Expos, 5-4, in part because of first baseman Efrain Vargas. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times. Hoof Harted collected his 7th save.

Toronto needed the clutch hitting of Ruben Velasco to notch the win. The center fielder hammered a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 5-4. For the game, Velasco had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Ah, the sweet taste of victory," Velasco crowed after the game.

The Blue Jays have an impressive 27-14 record.
