Tampa Bay got a terrific game from right fielder Juan Gonzalez. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Toronto, 4-3. Gonzalez was 3 for 3 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Scott Strickland was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 31 of 37 save opportunities. The win puts Toronto at 98-59 this season.

Aubrey Huff, who is tied for 6th in the AL with a .568 slugging percentage, aided the Toronto cause with a 2-run double in the bottom of the first. For the game, the first baseman was 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"Both teams played hard," said Toronto manager Rosscoe Blue Jays.
