The Toronto Trash Pandas defeated the Cincinnati Royals, 10-6, at The Castle. D.J. Van Diest, who is on pace for 126 RBI this season, was a standout performer for Toronto. His 3 hits included 1 single and 2 doubles -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 4 he knocked in. The winning pitcher was Mal Burkes. He's now 3-3. He went 5.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits for the Trash Pandas. Rodolfo Soto earned the save, his 3rd.

With Toronto leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Van Diest hit a sinker from Dave Harvey for a 2-run double. It was his 34th double of the season and put the Trash Pandas ahead, 4-1.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Van Diest said. "We did a good job of that today."

The second-place Trash Pandas are now 63-46, the Royals 58-51.
