McDonald Delivers Infield Hit To Spark Jays Comeback
Gabe Gross saved the night with a key defensive play in left, throwing out Eric Munson at the plate to end a 10th inning threat. Aaron Hill started the 11th with a single, Ken Huckaby's bunt and Menechinos’ grounder moved him to third, then John McDonald beat out a high chopper for the go ahead run as Toronto defeated Tampa Bay 3-1. Reed Johnson added an RBI single for insurance and Miguel Batista earned the win in relief.
