Senators Come Back Late to Clip Blue Jays
The Washington Senators got a stellar performance from pitcher John Burkett, who handcuffed the Toronto offense en route to a 4-1 win at SkyDome. Burkett got the win, improving to 14-6. He allowed 7 hits and walked 2 over 7.1 innings. Burkett allowed 1 earned run. The Senators bumped their record to 72-50 with this latest triumph.

Washington used the timely hitting of Vladimir Guerrero to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Senators on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Burkett told reporters after the game.
