Blue Jays Get One-Run Win at Los Angeles
Dodger Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.

Getting a good performance from catcher Darrin Fletcher, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-3. Fletcher went 2 for 3 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Blue Jays. Steve Shirley converted his 20th save in 23 tries.

Fletcher had a game-changing double in the top of the seventh. On a 0-2 slider from Rudy Seanez, he banged a run-scoring double to left-center, giving the Blue Jays a 4-3 lead. It was the 13th double of the year for Fletcher.

"If it's down the middle," said Fletcher, "you might as well hit it."

Toronto is now riding a 3-game win streak.
