Extra-Inning Win by Rockies over Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays got a superb performance from pitcher John Smiley, but the Colorado Rockies still won the game, 7-6. Smiley was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 7 innings of 5-hit ball. Colorado reliever John E. Farrell picked up the win to move to 1-1. German Jimenez suffered the loss. The Blue Jays fall to 14-17 and continue their wobbly start to the 1997 season.

Going deep for Colorado was Glenn Davis. The designated hitter had a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning for the Rockies. It put his team ahead, 7-6, and sent them on to victory. For the game, Davis went 2-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Davis.
