Blue Jays bash Nationals

Baseball Betting Lines

06/16/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Troy Glaus homered and finished with three RBI to guide the Toronto Blue Jays past the Washington Nationals, 7-2, in the opener of a three-game interleague set at Rogers Centre.

Adam Lind added a two-run shot while ace Roy Halladay put together another quality outing for the Blue Jays, who have won two in a row. Halladay (7-2) allowed two runs on seven hits over 7 1/3 frames while striking out six. He is 3-0 in four starts since returning from a three-week stint on the disabled list due to appendicitis.

Mike Bacsik (1-4) took the loss after giving up three runs in 4 1/3 innings for Washington, which had a three-game winning streak snapped. Ryan Langerhans' two-run homer accounted for his team's offense.

Toronto put up a three-spot in the fourth to jump in front. Curtis Thigpen led the bottom of the inning off with a bunt single, and was driven in a batter later when Lind crushed a one-out homer into the right-field seats.

Alex Rios and Vernon Wells later came through with consecutive two-out singles before Glaus doubled to left to make it 3-0.

Two more runs in the sixth upped the lead to 5-0.

Glaus hit a leadoff homer -- his 11th long ball of the year -- to kickstart the inning, and Frank Thomas followed with a walk. Winston Abreu struck the next two batters out, but then yielded a double to Gregg Zaun that brought Thomas home.

John McDonald scored on an Abreu wild pitch in the seventh to extend the lead to 6-0.

The Nationals finally got on the board in the eighth courtesy of Langerhans' two-run homer to center.

That was it for Washington, though, and Zaun added a sacrifice fly in the eighth for the Blue Jays to cap the scoring.

Game Notes

Home plate umpire CB Bucknor left in the fifth inning because of an illness...The Nationals are 5-2 on their current nine-game road swing...Since the Expos relocated from Montreal to Washington following the 2004 campaign, the Nationals have dropped six of seven games played in Toronto... Bacsik has a four-start losing streak.
