Blue Jays Subdue Atlanta, 5-3
The Toronto Blue Jays overcame a good performance by Atlanta left fielder Robbie Grossman to knock off Atlanta, 5-3, at SunTrust Park. Grossman was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. The last-place Blue Jays now have a win-loss record of 55-85.

Toronto used the bat of Yoenis Cespedes to get the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I really like what we did out there today," Cespedes said after the game.
