McDonald Helps Toronto Cruise to 10-3 Win
The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Cleveland Guardians, 10-3, at Progressive Field. The win was due in part to left fielder Todd McDonald, who went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Toronto goes to 68-73, Cleveland to 65-76.

Toronto designated hitter Alan Jones contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a changeup to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 2nd hit of the season and put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-0.

"We maximized our offense today," said Toronto skipper Don Mattingly. "That makes everyone's life easier."
