Jay Bell led Toronto to a win over Montreal. The final score was 7-3. Bell scored 2 times, going 3 for 4. He also knocked in 1 run batted in. Hipolito Pichardo was the winning pitcher. Over 7.2 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 11 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. Toronto has now won 3 in a row.

Toronto catcher Darrin Fletcher staked his team to an early lead in the top of the second inning, when he hit a 2-run double with runners on 1st and 3rd.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Bell told the Toronto Observer. "It's as simple as that."
