Arizona Gets 6-1 Win
The Arizona Diamondbacks took on the Toronto Blue Jays at SkyDome 1989-2015.

Starting pitcher John Means had a solid game. He was a big reason the Arizona Diamondbacks throttled the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-1. The Blue Jays have now dropped 5 straight.

Jose Ramirez had a big 2-run home run for the Diamondbacks in the top of the fourth inning. With Arizona leading 4-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Flexen and punished it. The result was his 11th home run of the season, which put the Diamondbacks on top, 6-1.

"Really good pitchers have that ability to raise their game when they need to," said Arizona manager waittilnextyear Smith.
