Trash Pandas Get Clutch Win Versus Tampa Bay
Toronto third baseman Mike Townsend played a vital role in his team's 8-7 conquest of Tampa Bay. He went 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 2 for Toronto. The win belonged to Dave Combs in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Mike Grotjohn took the loss for Tampa Bay. The Trash Pandas improved their record to 43-27 by beating Tampa Bay.

D.J. Van Diest was the walk-off hero for Toronto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Trash Pandas left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Van Diest, "and then get after it again."
