Matt Stairs hit a first inning grand slam and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-5 on Wednesday night.  It was a good thing that Stairs did hit the grand slam because the Blue Jays needed every run they could come by tonight against the Twins.

Stairs led the Blue Jays with four rbi.  Brad Wilkerson had one rbi for the Blue Jays as well.  The other run for the Blue Jays came on an error when Scott Rolen stole third base and the ball went into left field allowing Rolen to score.

Roy Halladay wasn’t his usual self as he gave up nine hits and four runs in only 6 2/3 innings.  It was enough to get the win however as he improved his record to 4-5 on the season.

Jesse Carlson gave up one run in relief of Halladay but then Shawn Camp, Brian Tallet, and Scott Downs finished the game off.  Downs picked up his fifth save of the season.
