Henderson Lifts Blue Jays to 7-3 Triumph
The home crowd had a good time watching the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays get after it.

Toronto shortstop Gunnar Henderson played a vital role in his team's 7-3 conquest of Tampa Bay. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for Toronto. James McArthur was the winner in relief. His record is now 3-2. The losing pitcher was Penn Murfee.

Henderson had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a first pitch fastball from Penn Murfee, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Blue Jays a 5-3 lead. It was the 8th home run of the year for Henderson.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Henderson said.

With this game in the books, Toronto is 23-21, Tampa Bay 21-25.
