Blue Jays Win Nail-Biter in 11
The Toronto Blue Jays had to overcome a fine effort from Kansas City pitcher Scott Blewett to win, 2-1, in 11 innings at Rogers Centre. Blewett went 6.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Juan Pérez snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 3 innings. He's now 5-5 on the season. The Blue Jays now have a record of 65-69 with the win over Kansas City.

The decisive blow was delivered by Héctor Rodríguez in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Kevin Martin to win the game for Toronto. The home crowd went nuts.

"Big win," said Rodríguez.
