Blue Pirates Win, 11-8, at Washington
The Toronto Blue Pirates knocked off the Washington Nationals, 11-8, at Nationals Park. Mark Canha was a big reason Toronto won. The right fielder was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. The win puts Toronto at 76-58 this season.

Toronto took a 10-7 lead on Canha's 23rd double of the season. The 2-run double, which he hit off Luke Jackson in the top of the seventh, propelled Toronto to the win.

"We played hard and won," said Canha. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
