Blue Jays Fall to .500 After Loss to Dodgers
Toronto third baseman Dean Palmer had a good game, even if his team did not. The Blue Jays dropped a 6-5 decision to Los Angeles at SkyDome. Palmer went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Aaron Sele earned the win for Los Angeles. He lasted 7.1 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 6 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 3-1. John Franco locked down his 3rd save.

Los Angeles used the bat of Jason Varitek to get the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Dodgers ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Varitek.

With the loss, Toronto sinks to 8-8.
