Blue Jays designated hitter Jesús Valentín left his imprint on his team's 14-0 win over the Pulaski Yankees. Valentín went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 and driving in 5 for Bluefield in the contest. The Blue Jays, now 19-17, know that wins in July count the same as wins in September.

With Bluefield leading 6-0 in the bottom of the sixth, Valentín came up to bat against Pulaski pitcher Chris Curran. Valentín hit a fastball to right for a grand slam home run. His 4th home run of the season put the Blue Jays on top, 10-0.

"I thought we played some darn good baseball," said Blue Jays manager Jose Mejia.
