Gm 10
Toronto 8 Texas 2

Yesterday’s loss the Jays leave Toronto and head down to Arlington, where they always seem to struggle, to take on the Texas Rangers in a 3-game series.
Doing his part was center fielder Vernon Wells, who was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Jesse Litsch got credit for the win, improving to 2-0. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits in 5 innings. Toronto is off to a hot start at 8-2.
Toronto used the timely hitting of Gregg Zaun to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"Solid game, solid win tonight," said a smiling Wells.

Gm 11
Toronto 6 Texas 3

Behind an incredibly strong effort from Doc Halladay, some timely hitting, and several defensive miscues by the Rangers infield.
Roy Halladay, who is a four-time All-Star, propelled his team to victory over the Texas Rangers.
The save went to Brian Tallet, number 2 for him. The Blue Jays, now 9-2, have been playing some good baseball.
Vernon Wells, who is a two-time All-Star, helped out the Toronto cause in the top of the fourth inning with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch. For the game, the center fielder drove in one run.
Toronto manager Frank Weatherbe was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.
Newcomer Joe Inglett acquitted himself reasonably well.

Gm 12
Toronto 4 Texas 1

Toronto Blue Jays starter A.J. Burnett turned in an exceptional performance against the Texas Rangers at Ameriquest Field in Arlington.
Burnett yielded 1 run over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 0, and struck out 4. His record improves to 1-1. B.J. Ryan closed it out for Toronto, earning his 1st save.
Toronto used the hitting of Shannon Stewart to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 4-0. For the game, Stewart had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.
"We'll take some time to unwind," said Stewart, "and then get after it again."
The Jays are feeling pretty good after our sweep of the Rangers, in Arlington, since that hasn’t happened in 23 years. And it’s always good to see Doc leave Texas with his leg in one piece and not clutching his midsection.
