Rockies Lose, 5-2, at SkyDome
The Toronto Blue Jays topped the Colorado Rockies by the score of 5-2, with the largest share of the credit going to second baseman Derek Jeter. Jeter went 2 for 3 with a triple, a double, and a walk for the Blue Jays. Steve Shirley converted his 14th save in 15 tries. The Blue Jays, now 42-35, have won 5 in a row.

Ellis Burks was vital part of the Toronto win. He was 2 for 4 with 2 singles. In the bottom of the fifth with one out, Burks hit a run-scoring single. It made the score 4-2, in favor of the Blue Jays.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Burks, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
