At Rogers Centre, the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Behind a solid performance from center fielder Steve Potter, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-1. Potter went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Red Sox. Juan Cervantes, the winning pitcher, improved to 12-5. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 8 hits and 1 run, while striking out 9 and walking 2.

Boston took a 6-0 lead on Potter's 9th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Ernie Ramírez in the top of the seventh, propelled Boston to the win.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Boston manager Alvin Morman.

The first-place Red Sox, at 66-55, now lead their division by 2 games.
