Behind the bravura of catcher Hector Villanueva, the Toronto Blue Jays topped the Washington Senators by the score of 9-3. Villanueva was 3-5 with 3 doubles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Blue Jays. Toronto has now won 3 in a row.

Toronto relied on the hitting of Derek Jeter to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the first inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 1-0. For the game, Jeter had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We take it day by day here," said Jeter, "and today was a good one for us."
