The New York Yankees scored a convincing win at Yankee Stadium, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays, 15-1. One of the hitting stars was Alex Rodriguez, who finished 3rd in the AL in wins above replacement with 8.5 in 1996, who went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 6. Carlos Valdez picked up the win, lifting his record to 3-2 on the season. He struck out 5 and walked 2 in 6.2 innings, while yielding 1 run. The Blue Jays drop to 8-14.

With New York leading 4-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Rodriguez came up to bat against Toronto pitcher Mike McNutt. Rodriguez hit a cutter to right for a grand slam home run. His 7th home run of the season put the Yankees on top, 8-0.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Rodriguez.
