Blue Jays Walk It Off for 18th Win of Season
Edmonton got a terrific game from catcher Arnie Pratt. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Toronto, 4-3. Pratt was 4-4 with a double and 3 singles. Toronto reliever Lew Krausse Jr picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Héctor Rodríguez shouldered the loss. The Blue Jays, now 18-8, have been playing some good baseball.

Willie Stargell was the walk-off hero for Toronto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blue Jays first baseman hit a dramatic solo home run to send the teams home.

After the game, Toronto manager Hollis Wright applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.
