The Toronto Blue Jays were held in check through five innings by Red Sox starter Tim Wakefield, but in the sixth inning they finally broke through for three runs and eventually went on to win the game by the score of 6-3.

After scoring three runs in the sixth inning, the Blue Jays tacked on two runs in the seventh inning, and another insurance run in the eight inning.  Frank Thomas led the team with two RBI, while Matt Stairs, David Eckstein, Lyle Overbay, and Aaron Hill contributed with one RBI each.

Shaun Marcum picked up the win for the Blue Jays as he pitched seven innings and only gave up three hits.  One of those hits however was a three run homerun off the bat of J.D. Drew that tied the game in the seventh inning.  Other then that Marcum pitched pretty good!

Jeremy Accardo picked up the save, his second of the season.
