Toronto beat Minnesota 11-2(clubbing 4 home runs)! With those 4 homeruns, Toronto now has 65 for the season so far, by far the most in the Majors!

Even if they don't continue to play good baseball, I am impressed with the way the Jays are playing this year. They have had 13 come-from-behind victories so far this season(something they could rarely do in the past few seasons) and are an entertaining team to watch. The players actually look like they want to play!

Ortiz had another couple of hits in the Red Sox victory. It looks like he has found his swing again.

This is the earliest in the season I can ever remember anyone mentioning the "wild card standings."
