Toronto Beats Tampa Bay, 8-4
Bryce Harper was instrumental in his team's 8-4 triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays. The designated hitter went 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Toronto Blue Jays. After today's action, Toronto sits at 72-81, while Tampa Bay falls to 53-100.

With Toronto leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Harper hit a sinker from David Peterson for a grand slam home run. It was his 34th home run of the season and put the Blue Jays ahead, 5-0.

"Bryce leaves the last at-bat behind him, whether it was good or bad, and goes up there and competes on every pitch," said Toronto manager Dan D.
