Blue Jays Rally to Tally 5-2 Win
Toronto pitcher Albert García had a large part in his team subduing the Atlanta Hammers, 5-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the left-hander. Toronto reliever Jose Nova picked up the win to move to 1-0. Joe Byrd suffered the loss. By defeating Atlanta, the 4th-place Blue Jays improved to 29-33.

Ken Frazier came through with a big-time hit for Toronto. The second baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 4-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said García. "It sure beats the alternative."
