The Blue Jays got a big at-bat from first baseman Efrain Vargas. For the game, Vargas went 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the third, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 38th home run of the season gave Toronto a 2-0 lead.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Toronto manager Max Meany.
