Blue Jays Score Decisive 11-3 Win Over Indians
The Toronto Blue Jays picked up a win at Rogers Centre, taking down the Cleveland Indians, 11-3. Starting pitcher Mike Fiers was a big reason why. Toronto is now 45-53, Cleveland 60-38.

The Indians had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Blue Jays going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old second baseman Danny Mendick came to the plate. Mendick hit a 2-run double on a 2-2 fastball from Cleveland hurler Kyle Hendricks. It was Mendick's 10th double of the year.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Mendick told the Toronto News.
