TORONTO — Under different circumstances, Roy Halladay would have stayed on the mound longer on Monday night. Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston had to keep more than just one game in mind, though.

TORONTO — When Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz threw to third baseman Pedro Feliz, pinch-runner John McDonald froze in his tracks for a split second. McDonald sprinted back and forth between second and third, trying to evade Feliz and shortstop Eric Bruntlett as they tried to chase him down. McDonald was finally caught while trying to [...]
TORONTO — Brad Mills said it was no different than any other home run. History says otherwise. The first-inning blast that the Blue Jays rookie surrendered to Philadelphia's Jayson Werth on Saturday was a rare sight at Rogers Centre.

TORONTO — With his solo blast deep to center field in Tuesday's game against the Reds, Blue Jays third baseman Scott Rolen showed the kind of power every team looks for in a cleanup hitter. Rolen has been hitting out of the sixth slot in the batting order for most of this season, but he [...]
TORONTO — Before Tuesday's game, Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said the evening's starter, left-hander Brian Tallet, had pitched better than his .500 record indicated. The outcome of the Blue Jays' tilt with the Reds at Rogers Centre helped proved that. Tallet had a great start, but some struggles by the bullpen nearly cost him. [...]
