The Toronto Blue Jays outlasted Jonathan Ewing and the Washington Nationals, 8-7. Ewing was impressive in the loss. The Washington right fielder went 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Tim Peterson notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 2-1. With the win, Toronto climbs to 18-7.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Toronto. That's when Eric Castillo hit a solo home run off 34-year old right-handed pitcher Joel DeGrasse to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"We're obviously playing with a lot of confidence," said Toronto manager Ben Smith.
