The Devil Rays were leading 4-2 going into the top of the 7th but Eric Hinske hit a three run home run putting the Blue Jays on top 5-4. In the bottom of the 7th Jorge Cantu would get it started with a double to right.Then B.J. Upton singled and a Sac Fly by Joey Gathright tied the score.

Shef87 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 MVP owns! And I hope you didn't change the fielding to Manual like most of the others do. And 3 homers off Halladay for me is tough for a whole game, let alone a single player. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
