The home crowd had a good time watching the Tampa Bay Captains and Toronto Trash Pandas get after it.

Heath Graves was a major contributor to the 8-4 Toronto win over Tampa Bay. The Trash Pandas center fielder went 3 for 4 with a triple, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Jim Murphy, the winning pitcher, improved to 2-0. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 1. Cory Gregerson notched his 3rd save in 4 chances.

In the bottom of the third, Toronto catcher Eduardo Lopez had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Lopez stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 6-4, Toronto. For the game, he went 2 for 2 with 2 singles.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Graves told the Toronto Citizen.

With this game in the books, Toronto is 82-70, Tampa Bay 65-87.
