Gino Panelli hit a 3-run shot to break open a close game in the 5th.

Indians:
Hall (2-3).

Blue Jays:
Sabajo (2-2, 2 Runs), Panelli (3-3, 4 RBI, HR), Talbot (2-2).

A couple defensive mistakes at the wrong times propelled the Indians to the tame 1-run victory.

Guy Giuffre tried to get the Blue Jays back when down by 8 runs by bombing a Grand Slam and 3-run homer in his final two at bats, but his rally fell short.

A day of tired arms and great times for both teams.

Blue Jays:
Giuffre ( 2-3, 2 HR, 8 RBI), Barnes (3-4, 2 Runs), Panelli (2-3, 3 Runs).

Indians:
Jay Aguilar (3-3), Trevor Bryden (2-4), Mike Smith (1-1, HR, 3 RBI).

Yankees' bats impressive as they hang a 10-spot on All-Star Derek St. Louis in the first inning. St. Louis recovers for the complete game, but the Mariners cannot recover enough to take the game.

Mariners:
Pardo (2-3, 3 Runs, 2 SB), Gentile (2-3, 2 RBI, 2 SB), Berrios (1-2, SF, 2 RBI), Medeiros (1-2, BB, SB), Majid (1-3, SF, RBI), Mosley (1-3, HP, Run).
