The San Francisco Meatballs scored a tight 4-3 win versus the Toronto Blue Jays at 420 Park. San Francisco pitcher Tom Pesky held his own in the contest. Pesky went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 6. His record improves to 5-3. Cipriano Valdés collected his 1st save.

The Meatballs got a big at-bat from second baseman Munenori Sato, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a 2-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Meatballs on top, 4-1.

"We ground out the win," said Pesky. "That's all that matters."

The first-place Meatballs have a one-game lead in their division.
